The Brewers are buyers: who are your three trade targets?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Who are the three targets you want to see on the Brewers come August 4th? This can be however you want to view the trade deadline: modest pick-ups, a reasonable push, an unreasonable emptying of the farm, however YOU view the deadline.

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

Three moves

#1-  DFA Sanchez and bring in Haase

#2-  Fischer, Sproat, and Jett to Detroit for Skubal

#3-  Some non top-20 prospects for a solid left-handed reliever

[RWeeksFan23]

Skubal, Detmers, Mason Miller

I get it, you don’t like the cut of Sanchez’s jib, but even as a joke the whole Haase thing is really silly.

His career is close to over. 

[patrickgpe]

1) Clay Holmes

2) Case Mize

3) Brady Singer

It's fun to think about those kinds of names but this front office wouldn't touch a trade like that with a ten foot pole.

You want to completely gut the farm for three guys who still do not guarantee a World Series?

1, Adrian Morejon - Would love to push Ashby down the leverage list and Morejon is a stud

2. Clay Holmes - Vet groundballer who I think can eat innings for us and has a long history as a RP so will be comfortable being shifted to the pen in the playoffs. I think he's very likely to decline his player option so you don't need to worry about next year 

3. Lane Thomas - RHH who hits LHP really well. Would like another bat who can hit LHP.

i'm not saying I want us to trade for all three guys, those are just my top three trade targets individually.

[Jopal78]

Holmes - NYM

Singer - CIN

Bleday - CIN

Two SP whose acquisition improves the pen by moving Drohan, Henderson whomever to the pen to limit their innings.

Bleday can play all 3 OF spots and has some power off the bench. 
 

Probably could acquire all 3 without giving up their top prospects 

[LouisEly]

Pipe dream:
1) Skubal
2) Gausman
3) Buxton

Realistic:
1) Wacha
2) Morejon
3) Drew Anderson

Looks like Lockridge is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment today, and I don't see any RF who is likely to be available who is better and either doesn't come with a bad contract or isn't going to cost a ton in prospect capital.

[beekay414]

1) Joe Ryan
2) Reid Detmers
3) Casey Schmitt

[Bulldogboy]

Alvarez Skubel Ryan

[wallus]

1. Weaver

2. Ryan

3. Senzatela

[pitchleague]

My boss (principal) is Skubal’s dad.  He thinks Tarik will get traded to Milwaukee IF they decide to trade him.  He can’t stand the Tiger’s GM and can’t  wait to get his kid off the Tigers, though. 
 

With so many of infield prospects, why not deal for Skubal and shift gears a bit for once?

I’d also love to see the Brewers shift to Mason Miller if they can’t get a starter.

I really don’t see any game-changing hitters on this year’s market.  If any team deals for a hitter, you’re hoping for one of those two-month turnarounds like the Braves had in 2021 with Soler and Rosario.

With something like 23 of 30 teams within reasonable striking range for a playoff spot (and the impending lockout) I kind of get the sense that this year’s deadline might be an overall dud.

 

[Brian]

I will do a couple different names besides #1 Joe Ryan.

Foster Griffin

Chandler Simpson

[FidoMcCokefiend]

1. Buxton .
2. Weaver
3. Alvarez 

I mean Skubal for sure, but I just cannot see this franchise doing that.  But then again, I thought the Micah Parsons rumors were completely insane. 

I know pitching pitching pitching, but we ain't beating the Dodgers without an improvement to the offense and Buxton or Alvarez would be a massive upgrade

[Samurai Bucky]

1. Joe Ryan (has another year of control after this year)
2. Reid Detmers (has two more years!)
3. Luke Weaver

More generic:

1. A front-line starter (Ryan, Detmers, or maybe Holmes)
2. A longer reliever or back of the rotation starter (Weaver, or maybe Ray)
3. Spot closer or 1-inning guy... like Josh Hader...

 

[owbc]

We need a TOR starter and a high leverage lefty to be really dangerous.

Ryan and Morejon are my picks but if we want to make a YOLO trade for Skubal I’m all for it. 

We could probably use a depth bat, the Lane Thomas suggestion is a good one 

[liveforoctober]

Always fun to think about. But this is like talking with your spouse about next summer's vacation - pulling up pictures of Bali and Athens and Madeira - but both of you know fully well you are going to end up at the Kalahari in the Dells to save some money.

Joe Ryan is a fun thought. Mason Miller is a wonderful thought.

We are going to end up with whatever this year's version of Lockridge is. Brett Harris or something like that.
