Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic has reported that sources close to the Brewers are saying they have expanded their trade deadline interests to acquiring a left-handed bat. Milwaukee is concerned about Christian Yelich's recent back issues. It was reported that Yelich was strongly considering season-ending back surgery before receiving an opinion that rest and rehab might be an option to get him back on the field later in the 2024 season. After the season, it's likely Yelich will opt for back surgery and hopefully be ready to start the 2025 season on time. While there are some lower-level options open to the Brewers (and never underestimate General Manager Matt Arnold's ability to get creative), the most obvious and best rental option is a name that strikes terror into the heart of Brewers fans: Jesse Winker. After having an abysmal 2023 season with the Crew that ended with him being booed in front of the home town crowd in the postseason, Winker is having an outstanding rebound season with the Washington Nationals. He is posting a 130 OPS+ and is only making $2 million, which could be appealing to the Brewers, who don't seem eager to add payroll at the deadline.
