The Brewers fell short in the Tarik Skubal trade sweepstakes, but they are in the running to add Clay Holmes from the Mets. The MLB trade deadline was kicked off with the trade of Tarik Skubal to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Milwaukee Brewers were one team that fell short in the Skubal sweepstakes, as they were often reported as Los Angeles' biggest threats to land the former Detroit Tigers pitcher. The team will still be trade deadline buyers, though, and they've already been linked to another starting pitcher. Mark Feinsand reported that the Brewers are pursuing the righty who is expected to be dealt before the trade deadline passes.
