It’s been almost two months since these teams met, and both have made significant trade acquisitions. For an update on what’s new with the Brewers, I asked Kyle Lesniewski, manager of our SB Nation Brewers site Brew Crew Ball, to update us on his team.
An inconsistent offense plagued the Brewers throughout the first half of the season, so naturally the team made a few moves at the deadline to help shore up the weak spots in the lineup. The deals were a bit unconventional, however. Slingin’ Stearns brought in Mike Moustakas to play third and then moved Travis Shaw to second base.
