Cold Brew Podcast Episode 50: Post-Trade Deadline With Will Sammon

Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll are joined this week by Brewers beat writer for The Athletic, Will Sammon. David, Matt, and Will discuss several topics surrounding the Milwaukee Brewers this week, starting off with the wild and crazy 2021 MLB Trade Deadline. At the deadline, the Brewers acquired relievers Daniel Norris and John Curtiss in separate trades and we break down each of those trades, looking at what the Brewers gave up and what they are getting in return. Were the Brewers in on Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo? Will has some inside info. Also, John Axford made a surprise return to Milwaukee this week and it was over just after it got started with a bad elbow injury, and we discuss the circumstances around his return and subsequent departure. Where does the Brewers bullpen go from here with most of it's depth on the shelf? Matt suggests a long-awaited call-up of a minor league star. Finally, with Milwaukee likely to win their division, should the Crew want to get the top seed in the NL or should they go for the second-best record and aim for an easier path forward in October? We discuss that and a lot more on a very fun 50th episode of the Cold Brew Podcast.
