Brewers' Offseason Moves: Balancing Present & Future

0:00On April 18th, the Milwaukee Brewers dominated the regular season last year with the best record in baseball, but they flamed out in the playoffs. So they shook things up by trading three-star players this offseason, signaling a shift toward the future. They jumped out to a strong start this season, but lately they've hit a rough patch and could slide out of the National League Central Race. This ain't a full tear down though. The team still stack with Talon. They're iron swaps for vets on short deals to clear space for rising prospects, keeping them competitive long-term. Names popping up include closer Trevor McGill, whose contract ends after next year, and who has backup Abner Urebe ready to step up. Then there's Catcher and First Basement Gary Sanchez, filling key spots now, but facing a log jam with guys like Andrew Vaughn and Jefferson Carroll coming. Soon, and if things really sour, start a brand-in Woodruff on his one-year deal, could fetch a haul with young arms like Quinn Priester and others waiting in. The Wings. If the Brewers keep slipping, expect those phones to ring hot before the deadline. Smart moves to stay ahead of the curve.
