Joc Pederson, DH, Arizona Diamondbacks
A left handed platoon bat, Joc Pederson brings plenty of pop and postseason experience. He helped crush the Brewers 2021 postseason hopes with the Braves and perhaps the Brewers can look to bring him on their side this time around.
Pederson is hitting .277 with 15 homers this season with a 154 OPS+. He'd be an ideal three-hole hitter against righties with Yelich on the IL.
Nestor Cortes, RHP, New York Yankees
The Yankees are putting Nestor Cortes on the trade market with a year and a half of team control to go. He hasn't had a great season, pitching to a 4.13 ERA in 22 starts, but he's been healthy all year, he doesn't walk many, and perhaps he could improve upon joining Milwaukee's staff.
Trevor Rogers, LHP, Miami Marlins - Traded to Orioles
Trevor Rogers is a controllable young starter that's been pitching better of late and could present a solid improvement to the Brewers rotation. They just faced him last weekend in Milwaukee when the Marlins were in town and got a good look at him.
Rogers has been healthy all year, making 21 starts with a 4.53 ERA. The 26 year old keeps the ball on the ground and gets great extension down the mound. The Brewers can work with the ingredients he has.
Update: Rogers has been traded to the Baltimore Orioles
Tyler Anderson, LHP, Angels
Another starting pitcher that could present an additional upgrade beyond Frankie Montas, Tyler Anderson has a year and a half of team control at a pretty modest salary. He's been pretty darn good this season with a 2.96 ERA in 21 starts.
He doesn't get a ton of strikeouts, but Anderson is a master at avoiding hard contact and he has a nasty changeup.
By the end of today, we'll likely see a good chunk of these players traded somewhere. The Milwaukee Brewers could be the destination for one or more of them. Stay tuned to Reviewing the Brew for all the latest on the Brewers trade deadline rumors and moves.
