Welcome to the 2025 trade deadline, and the Brewers need a bat. Trade-deadline chatter with Robert Murray (07.28.2025)

The Milwaukee Brewers need some thump at the 2025 trade deadline, but will the franchise actually be able to make a splash in the coming days? Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe shout out some names and scenarios as they ponder what's next for Milwaukee. Plus: The Brewers get oh-so-close to free burgers and a 12-game winning streak, then slog through a so-so week, but one that ends in walk-off fashion and still with a first-place team. Should the Brewers try to extend Brandon Woodruff? Jackson Chourio is red-hot. What's the plan to manage Jacob Misiorowski's workload? Curt also gives his review of an electric evening in Milwaukee with the alumni home-run derby.

In Three Up Three Down (44:00), Isaac Collins has a wild slide, Ken Rosenthal gives a nudge to Mark Attanasio and a good baserunning team that can't steal bases? In Remembrew When (1:06:00), it's time for another CC Sabathia memory during Hall of Fame induction weekend. Curt Blanche (1:12:00), meanwhile, is naming names in the final days before the trade deadline.

Then, JR is joined by national baseball writer Robert Murray (1:21:00), a Wisconsin native who knows a thing or two about Brewers coverage. They discuss sensible fits, what the Brewers should do and what they're looking for. Is there a deal out there that involves Freddy Peralta? Are the Brewers as secretive as they seem? How did Robert become a transaction guru?
