During the 2018 off season, David Stearns made a big splash by trading for Christian Yelich and the free agent signing of Lorenzo Cain. While there may not be as much cap space available this year, the Milwaukee Brewers will look to be aggressive in the free agent or trade markets.
Right-handed pitcher Brandon Woodruff made his Major League debut at the end of 2017. He saw an increased role this past season, specifically in September and October where Woodruff was lights out.
Given his post season success in 2018, this could be the perfect opportunity to package Woodruff in a trade to bring in that high-level pitcher.
