Rumor: Top 50 Trade Candidates: Deadline Weekend Edition

[Brock Beauchamp]

Congratulations, you've unlocked trade deadline weekend! Up to this point, the deadline has been rather quiet, as there are many teams still on the fence about selling and few selling teams have have clear upgrades at positions. MLBTR's Anthony Franco runs through the best remaining trade targets heading into the final 72 hours before the trade deadline, many of which should be of interest to the Brewers.

Of particular interest to the Brewers:

• Mark Canha: RH OF, New York Mets
• Tommy Pham: RH OF, New York Mets
• Teoscar Hernandez: RH OF, Seattle Mariners
• Josh Hader: RP, San Diego Padres

Who are your favorite trade targets and why?

Scott Barlow is probably my #1 target for the Brewers.  He has had a really bad July in giving up runs and walks but all of his other underlying stats say he should be pitching better.  He would also be under control for 2024 so not a 1-year rental.  I think Barlow would solidify the Brewers bullpen giving them another 7th or 8th inning option. 

I am intrigued with Dylan Carlson but I don't think the Cardinals would trade him within the division.  Tommy Pham is another bat I would like to see the Brewers add.  I would really like to see the Brewers go '21 Braves and add 2-3 more bats along with a reliever or starter at the deadline.  Another name to watch is Laureano though he hasn't hit all that much this year but he has hit lefties ok.  It wouldn't cost all that much to get Laureano from the A's probably one or two lottery tickets at most.
