Starting pitching is a coveted asset this time of year. With only a handful of viable starters on the trade market, the price that contenders will pay to add a reliable arm to their rotation, especially one that has playoff experience, often doesn’t correspond to the true value of the player they are acquiring. For this reason, and several others, the Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly exploring their options when it comes to their own starting pitching depth, with the possibility of them trading away one of their two veteran southpaws, José Quintana or Nestor Cortes, prior to this Thursday's deadline.
