The Milwaukee Brewers didn't make the big splash that fans were hoping for at the 2025 trade deadline. As the best team in baseball, the Brewers elected to improve around the margins, ultimately adding a backup catcher, an outfield depth piece, and a high-leverage reliever to their roster at the deadline.
As a result, the Brewers didn't part with much prospect capital like many other teams in the National League did, keeping their strong farm system intact, and continuing their strategy of prioritizing sustained success rather than going "all in" for one season. In the end, the front office swung three deadline deals, including the Jansen trade on Monday and two trades that went down right around the 5:00 p.
