Vaughn, the former number-three overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, had an OPS of .532 with the White Sox before he was optioned to the minors earlier this year. But since coming to Milwaukee, he's managed a 1.210 OPS with five home runs, including the grand slam, in 15 games.

Andrew Vaughn, Sal Frelick and Christian Yelich homered and the Milwaukee Brewers overcame a shaky start from All-Star Jacob Misiorowski to beat the Chicago Cubs 8-4 on Monday night and take sole possession of first place in the NL Central.

Locked in a battle with the Milwaukee Brewers atop the NL Central, the Chicago Cubs have four spots on the roster they would like to address prior to the trade deadline.

The Milwaukee Brewers aren't going to be categorized as sellers at this year's Trade Deadline, but they very well could trade from their big league roster. The starting rotation is an area of abundance for the Crew and it's always in high demand at this time of year.

According the Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly interested in adding Baltimore Orioles' first baseman Ryan O'Hearn at the trade deadline. The team was also interested in Josh Naylor before he was traded to the Mariners.

The Brewers should trade a pitcher to improve their infield at the MLB trade deadline. Could Freddy Peralta or Nestor Cortes be on the move?

MLB reporter Héctor Gómez wrote on Twitter that the Brewers had emerged "now as a top suitor" for Suárez, but the names he mentioned as a possible return lined up perfectly with our Journal Sentinel story proposing mock trades (with reaction and analysis from Curt Hogg), which seems fishy.

Tampa Bay traded for Miami catcher Nick Fortes after the Rays sent veteran catcher Danny Jansen to Milwaukee in another deal as the trade deadline approaches.

The Brewers could pair the 30-year-old Jansen with starting catcher William Contreras, a two-time All-Star who has been less productive at the plate this season. Though Jansen is batting just .204, he has posted an .820 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Contreras has produced a .625 OPS since June 1.
