The Brewers were generally viewed as the top challenger to the Dodgers when the Tigers were shopping Tarik Skubal. McCalvy reports that the Brewers also offered a three-prospect package which would’ve been led by 19-year-old shortstop Luis Peña. Peña would’ve been a compelling headliner. The broader point is that Peña would’ve been a perfectly reasonable starting point, though he has missed some time with physical issues this year. It’ll make for an interesting footnote as the careers of Hope, Ryan and Peña play out.
