The Brewers fell out of first place on Sunday and don’t have an easy upcoming schedule, so they have some work to do at the deadline. They acquired first baseman Carlos Santana from the Pirates last week in an attempt to shore up an offense that ranks 26th in MLB with a .689 OPS, but that may have just been the start. Ken Rosenthal is reporting that they are still looking for another hitter ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, a pursuit that could see them asking around on several former Cubs prospects.
One of those is Jeimer Candelario, who Nationals GM Mike Rizzo says had drawn interest from eight different teams as of Sunday.
