In the next of our series previewing the MLB Trade Deadline, we take a look at what solid starting pitching options the Milwaukee Brewers could target.

We’re a week closer to the MLB Trade Deadline! That means it’s time to resume our look at who may be available for the Milwaukee Brewers to target.

In this article, we’ll take a look at what second-tier starting pitchers may be on the market, or what we would characterize as solid options. These are players who may not be the top-tier, potentially franchise changing players that we discussed in our opening three articles, but they can still make a significant impact on the Brewers right now.

For a summary of how we came to these tiers, you can read that in our opening article discussing the top-tier starting pitchers that could be available here. You can also see what top-tier options may be on the relief market here, and on the position market here.

Let’s dive in!
