The Milwaukee Brewers don’t need to make a blockbuster trade to stay in the World Series hunt.
The Brewers were 63-43 entering Tuesday, outright leaders in the National League Central division. Milwaukee has rallied around an "average joes" identity and outperformed more talented rosters around MLB, most notably the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Still, Milwaukee's offense could undeniably use some more slug. With just 101 home runs (No. 24 in MLB) and a .386 slugging percentage (No. 22 league-wide), another big bat could help cement the Brew Crew's postseason edge. In that vein, a calculated addition might be the move general manager Matt Arnold makes to elevate Milwaukee’s title chances.
