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

3. Eric Haase/Gary Sanchez

I'm going to cheat and include both Eric Haase and Gary Sanchez here because likely one of these two is going to be gone in the near future, I'm just not sure which.

Currently, the Brewers are carrying three catchers on the active roster. That's not a sustainable roster construction. Instead of having to DFA one of the two catchers shortly after the deadline and losing them for nothing in return, the Brewers could simply trade one of them to a team that's looking for catching help at the deadline. This opens them up to a possible contender-to-contender trade.

It's been reported the Brewers are seeking to add a left handed bat at the deadline in the wake of Yelich's injury. If they do add that bat, how will they fit him on to the 26 man active roster? The easy solution is to clear one of the extra backup catchers.

There's little chance the Brewers could sneak Haase through waivers this time around. He's been excellent in a limited role and his trade value has skyrocketed as a result. If the Brewers know they want to roll with Gary Sanchez as the backup to William Contreras, then the best course of action would be to trade Haase now and get something for him rather than lose him on waivers for nothing.

If the Brewers prefer to keep Haase, then Gary Sanchez could be a hot name on the trade market. Teams are always looking for a little extra power at the deadline and Sanchez's name carries weight in that regard. Haase has impressed so much, it's entirely possible they move Sanchez instead.

There's virtually no chance both of these players stick around through the rest of the season. Haase can't be optioned and neither can Sanchez. Don't be surprised if either one of them gets shipped out before Tuesday is over.
