As the Milwaukee Brewers and the remainder of the league prepare for the trade deadline the podcast Talkin Baseball did the same. With hosts Rosey, Trevor, Jake, and Jolly the squad predicted landing spots for several players throughout the league. Rosey and Jake each guessed a different hitter to end up playing for the Brew Crew.

Milwaukee Brewers trade prediction #1: OF Andrew McCutchen
Andrew McCutchen spent the 2022 season with the Milwaukee Brewers. The veteran outfielder played primarily in the designated hitter role but was slightly below average during the season as he finished with a 98 OPS+. At seasons end he elected to return back to Pittsburgh on a one year deal. With the Pirates falling out of playoff contention and his OPS+ up to 121 this year he is an intriguing trade candidate to consider.

Milwaukee Brewers trade prediction #2: Utility Brandon Drury
After excelling with the Cincinnati Reds in 2022 Brandon Drury was dealt at the trade deadline to the San Diego Padres. During the offseason he signed a two year, $17 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels. Despite the Angels playoff hopes slowly slipping away Drury has put up a 14 home run, .500 slugging percentage, and 121 OPS+ season. His right-handed bat would provide an instant thump to the Brewers lineup, but an $8.5 million 2024 salary may be enough to steer Milwaukee away.
