Brewers trade Bo Naylor to Guardians for Blake Perkins and Craig Yoho

The Milwaukee Brewers and Cleveland Guardians executed a 2-for-2 trade on August 1, before the upcoming MLB trade deadline. The Brewers acquired catcher Bo Naylor and reliever Codi Heuer, while the Guardians received right-handed reliever Craig Yoho and outfielder Blake Perkins. The trade addresses Cleveland's need for outfield help after their struggles this season, while the Brewers prepare for a future without current catcher William Contreras. Both teams dealt from positions of strength, with the Guardians having excess depth at catcher and the Brewers in the outfield.
