The Milwaukee Brewers either weren’t in on or chose not to pay any of the top free agent starting pitchers. They also don’t have the trade capital to make a major acquisition for their rotation without giving up a player that matters for their active roster. The current rotation is in need of depth and quality at this point.
Eric Lauer, Brett Anderson, and Josh Lindblom probably won’t be worse than last year’s rotation, but it’s hard to see the team making it through a 162-game schedule with the current options on the 40-man roster.
