The Milwaukee Brewers were the best team in the league during the regular season last year, but they didn’t have the same success in the postseason. After getting bounced by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the postseason, the Brewers opted to make a few trades this offseason.
The two biggest moves of the offseason were the deals that sent Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets and Caleb Durbin to the Boston Red Sox. The Brewers added multiple star prospects in these two deals. But they also traded Isaac Collins during the offseason, while making a few other small moves along the way.
Bleacher Report’s Tim Kelly recently suggested that Angel Zerpa, who was acquired from the Kansas City Royals in the aforementioned Collins trade, was the Brewers’ best-kept secret this season. But Zerpa could quickly turn from a secret into a star if he continues trending the way that he is.
