The Milwaukee Brewers were quite active on this summer’s non-waiver trade market, acquiring three players for the major league squad while sending away six of their own prospects plus second baseman Jonathan Villar. The Brewers brought in Mike Moustakas and Jonathan Schoop to help shore up the offensive production in the infield and their presence has made a positive difference; since the start of August, Milwaukee ranks tied for fourth in the National League with 55 runs scored. Joakim Soria also joined the bullpen and had allowed only one earned run through his first seven appearances and 5.2 innings in the Cream City, but he landed on the disabled list yesterday with a leg issue. With their offensive woes more or less addressed, the focus of David Stearns and company this month will likely be on exploring upgrades to a pitching staff that has looked a lot more human recently than it did in the early part of the season.
