Even after acquiring old friend Jordan Lyles, the Milwaukee Brewers continue to be on the hunt for further additions to their pitching staff. Reports from yesterday continued to link the team to left-hander Robbie Ray of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and rumors continued to swirl today as we are now less than 24 hours away from the single July 31st trade deadline at 3:00 PM central.
According to New York beat reporter Andy Martino, the Brewers remain involved in the bidding for Zack Wheeler of the Mets. The club has been linked to Wheeler throughout the summer, and David Stearns and company have previously been connected to the New York hurler this past winter and during last summer’s trade season.
