Over the years, the Milwaukee Brewers have shown that their most impactful trades don’t always come at the end of July; they often happen much earlier. The mid-May acquisition of Willy Adames in 2021 and the late-April trade for Trevor Megill in 2023 stand as prime examples of that approach.
This season, two early trades played a major role in propelling the Brewers to the best record in baseball. Those moves, of course, were the acquisitions of Quinn Priester and Andrew Vaughn.
Several other trades occurred as well, including the deals for Danny Jansen, Brandon Lockridge, and Daz Cameron.
