Uh oh @Jeremy Nygaard is in trouble.

The Brewers need Colin Rea, certified stopper, to get them back on track going into the break.

Getting a crash course on why contact pitchers are dangerous, even in front of a great defense.

I think that is the correct course of action, yes. You might want to bump the publish time way out into the future as well. To be honest, I don't use that functionality often (what we have for the front page is quite different) so you might want to play around with it a bit to find the best workflow.

In the blog creation page, do you have these two options just above the save/publish button?

Be nice to see Freddy head into the break on a positive note.

Brewers let Skenes off the hook in the last three innings and now find themselves in a bit of a pickle.

I thought the same but Murphy also needs to get length out of his rotation. It's not an easy decision.

If you can't beat Paul Skenes, getting him out of the game is a solid plan B.

Ohhhh, so close William.

Civale is looking pretty good. It'd really be something if the Brewers can turn him back into a capable starter given they have him under arb for 2025.

Fair.

Well, this is a must-watch matchup for me.

According to Mark Feinsand's latest MLB.com report, the Blue Jays are telling teams they are willing to trade any players on expiring contracts, though they are not yet willing to part with players with team control beyond 2024. The Blue Jays have a slew of players who will be free agents at the end of the season: center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, DH Justin Turner, relievers Trevor Richards & Yimi Garcia, and most interestingly to the Brewers, Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi is having a solid season with 101.1 innings pitched, a 101 ERA+, and is making only $10 million this season. Relievers Richards and Garcia might also be of interest to the Brewers depending on the healthy return of Devin Williams in the next couple of weeks. View full rumor

In the latest trade roundup from The Athletic, Ken Rosenthal, Katie Woo, and Patrick Mooney wrote that the Nationals are preparing to sell. While Washington is playing decently this season (42-49), they're a whopping 16.5 games behind the Philadelphia Phillies and 5.5 games out of a contentious National League Wild Card spot. They didn't expect to compete this year and feel as if they're a year ahead of schedule and PoBO Mike Rizzo feels selling is the right decision at this trade deadline. The Nationals have several interesting right-handed relievers that could interest the Brewers. On expiring contracts, they have Dylan Floro (179 ERA+) while they have two relievers who become free agents after the 2025 season: Hunter Harvey (183 ERA+) and Kyle Finnegan (184 ERA+). Starting pitcher Trevor Williams is expected to return from injury soon. He will also become a free agent at season's end and over 11 starts has a 2.22 ERA. Of course, the Nationals also have a Brewers fan favorite rostered and available in trade, Jesse Winker. View full rumor
