MLB Trade Deadline Shockers: Which Teams Made Genius Moves and Who Set Themselves Up for Disaster?
Milwaukee Brewers: D+
Moves:
-
Acquired RP Shelby Miller and SP Jordan Montgomery for PTBNL/cash
-
Traded SP Nestor Cortes and SS prospect Jorge Quintana to San Diego for OF Brandon Lockridge
-
Acquired C Danny Jansen from Tampa Bay for IF prospect Jadher Areinamo
I feel odd critiquing an organization made up of people who are smarter than I am and have a track record of sustainable roster-building, which I very much do not have. But I look at this Brewers team and those 96.6% playoff odds, and I wish they’d been a bit more aggressive. Milwaukee could’ve used one more versatile offensive piece like Willi Castro or one more difference-making bat like Ryan O’Hearn or one more lockdown reliever like Ryan Helsley. The postseason is a roulette wheel, but the Brewers should at least try to help their own odds every once in a while.
