Cubs to add former Brewers deadline addition for stretch run

On Tuesday, Reviewing the Brew's Tyler Miller explained how MLB teams can add players to their roster after the July 31 trade deadline by making use of the increasingly popular waiver claim system. As explained by Miller, this system gained popularity in 2019 after MLB banned any trades from taking place after the trade deadline (previously teams could make trades so long as the player in question cleared waivers prior to the deal being finalized). For more on the waiver claim system and why teams utilize it down the stretch, be sure to check out Miller's full article (link provided below).
