The Milwaukee Brewers are once again one of the top teams in the National League Central, though the issue this year is that it's a far more competitive division than before.
The Chicago Cubs are 28-16, while the St. Louis Cardinals are well above . 500, and the Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds aren't far behind.
To retake the NL Central lead and differentiate themselves from their competition, the Brewers need to make a splash. Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report linked the Brewers to a few possible trade targets, with one link to Washington Nationals All-Star slugger, who hit 31 homers last year, in James Wood. "If they aren't at least calling the Nationals about LF James Wood and/or SS CJ Abrams, they aren't doing their due diligence," Miller writes.
Adding Wood to the Brewers' offense would be an ideal trade pickup for Milwaukee this year. He's young, cheap, and the exact kind of slugger this team needs. He'd be a perfect trade target for the Brewers.
