The Milwaukee Brewers lead the NL Central by 5.5 games entering the All-Star break. Despite their strong position, the team is looking to address areas of need before the trade deadline. Insider reports indicate the Brewers may pursue a starting pitcher due to uncertainties surrounding Brandon Woodruff's health and seek an impactful addition to the left side of the infield.
