5 Brewers players who could be traded off the 40 man roster before 2024 Deadline

2. OF Joey Wiemer

Joey Wiemer's trade stock has to be rising. In the month of July, Wiemer is hitting .351 in Triple-A Nashville with a .507 OBP. He's walking more than he's striking out and getting on base a ton. That performance could be just what he needs and the Brewers need to get his value up high enough that another team will trade for him. He's still just 25 years old.

Wiemer's value is not as high as it once was, but similar to Brett Phillips in 2018, the Brewers may seek to move him while they can before the trade value completely bottoms out. It's rising right now and it may not ever get much higher.

For a rental starting pitcher, Wiemer would be an excellent return. He brings the upside of a 30-30 threat and can play centerfield.

It's become quite clear as the 2024 season has gone on that Wiemer is not in the Brewers big league outfield plans. Yelich will be here for a while, even with the back issue. Jackson Chourio has a spot secured and the trio of Mitchell, Frelick, and Perkins have solidified themselves as big league hitters. There's not much room on the 26 man roster for Wiemer to crack that depth chart.

The wise move for the Brewers front office, it would appear, would be to trade Wiemer while his value is up. Waiting could only lead to his value bottoming back out. There's a chance it could continue to rise and Wiemer has finally figured out how to improve his hit tool as he's adjusted to his new swing, but should the Brewers take that risk if they can sell now?
