Three players the Brewers should trade for at the trade deadline

Key Points:

  • The Milwaukee Brewers currently lead the National League Central by seven games and are close to having the best record in baseball but face concerns about pitching depth and offensive power heading into the playoffs.
  • The Brewers' primary needs include a reliable starting pitcher for the postseason, a dependable left-handed high-leverage reliever, and additional power hitting to boost their offense.
  • Potential starting pitcher targets include Angels' José Soriano and Reid Detmers, with Soriano being a better fit due to his ground ball pitching style; the Brewers have also shown some interest in Tigers' Tarik Skubal but are unlikely to pursue aggressively.
  • San Diego Padres' left-handed reliever Adrián Morejón is a strong candidate to fill the bullpen need, boasting excellent strikeout rates and underlying metrics, though competition for him will be intense and the Padres might not be motivated to trade.
  • For offensive power, outfielder Jo Adell from the Angels offers right-handed power hitting to address Milwaukee's league-worst home run totals, despite some defensive limitations; alternatives include players like Taylor Ward, Isaac Paredes, and Gleyber Torres depending on team situations.
