In the second installment of the Brewers' trade deadline primer, the focus shifts to identifying potential relief pitcher targets. The author emphasizes the need for a high-leverage reliever, a role that Aaron Ashby could potentially fill. The article delves into the available options, categorizing them into two groups: targets from teams that are far enough back to likely sell, and those who might become available if their teams don't perform well over the next few weeks. The author provides detailed analysis of each player, considering their performance, contract status, and potential fit for the Brewers. The discussion covers a range of players, including Aroldis Chapman, Adrián Morejón, Luke Weaver, Devin Williams, and many others. The author ranks the potential targets, with Aroldis Chapman being the top choice, followed by Adrián Morejón and Luke Weaver. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of financial considerations and the potential for some players to be traded, while others may not be realistic upgrades or are too expensive. The author invites readers to share their thoughts on missed targets and provides a comprehensive overview of the relief pitcher market for the Brewers.
