Brewers Explore Multiple Trades Ahead National League Deadline

The Milwaukee Brewers, currently leading the National League Central with a 61-42 record, are actively exploring trade options ahead of the July 31st deadline to strengthen their roster for a playoff push. Owner Mark Attanasio confirmed that "everything is on the table," indicating openness to deal prospects for impactful players, particularly to address bench depth and injury gaps involving Rhys Hoskins and Sal Frelick. Potential targets include utility player Willi Castro, reliever Kevin Ginkel, and first baseman Nathaniel Lowe, each offering strategic value without sacrificing top prospects. Despite a strong and deep roster, including a robust bullpen and rotation, areas like backup catcher and bench utility are seen as priorities for upgrade. Additionally, the Brewers may trade left-handed reliever Bryan Hudson, who has struggled in 2025 after a strong 2024, to acquire fresh talent. While the team’s strength might allow for a quiet deadline, management is positioned to make judicious moves aimed at bolstering their chances for a deep postseason run.
