As the dust settles on the MLB trade deadline, the Milwaukee Brewers will face a Washington Nationals team that looks a bit different from the one that took two out of three off of them in Milwaukee just before the All-Star break. Since that series (July 12-14), the Nationals have traded Jesse Winker, Lane Thomas, Dylan Floro, and Hunter Harvey.
The Brewers will be pleased not to see Winker, who homered and doubled in the first of Washington’s two wins in that July series, and Thomas, who had hits in all three games.
