Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers have needed a frontline starter for the past two seasons. They came within one win of the World Series last season without acquiring an ace and are still in the thick of things with regard to the National League Central race this year.
Grabbing a starter of Stroman’s caliber would not only keep him from other division rivals, but they could just also really use one for their own rotation. Milwaukee came into this season with a bunch of questions in this area of the roster, and not a whole lot has changed.
Brandon Woodruff has emerged as a solid and reliable hurler, leading the squad with 114.2 innings pitched, which has led to a 3.53 ERA and 3.2 fWAR. Zach Davies has also bounced back following a tough 2018, but he and Woodruff are the only Brewers pitchers with more than 90 innings under their belt. The next closest is Jhoulys Chacin with 83 frames, but he’s produced a 5.18 ERA in the process.
Adding Gio Gonzalez after the season started will be a boost overall. However, with Jimmy Nelson‘s return not going nearly as smooth as hoped and his immediate future cloudy, the Brewers sure could use another horse. Why not someone who can generate a ton of ground balls while pitching at Miller Park?
