Some teams around Major League Baseball just know how to win games, and that includes the Milwaukee Brewers.

Not that the Brewers are ever the most talented or have the most expensive team in baseball, but there's something to be said about what they do year in and year out to win games at the highest level, once again sitting in first place in the National League Central at 36-21 and 5.5 games ahead of the second-place St. Louis Cardinals.
In the same breath, there's definitely something to be said about the Brewers not doing enough to bring in enough talent to get to the top of the baseball world. They've found a lot of success, and there's something to be said about that, but they need to make the necessary moves to ensure they have a chance to win come October.
Even if it's an under-the-radar move, one recent proposal was to land Casey Mize of the Detroit Tigers, and that makes a whole lot of sense.
“Casey Mize has been Detroit's best non-Skubal pitcher this season, with a 2.27 ERA and 2.38 FIP. He has 49 strikeouts in 47.2 innings. A recent groin injury halted his momentum, but as far as rentals go, few popular trade candidates are actually performing better than Mize right now. There are aces with gaudier reputations and more accolades, but his stuff has never been sharper. The righty looks like he can lead a rotation,” Christopher Kline wrote.
The idea that Mize could be traded shouldn't sound as far-fetched as some might think. While the former first overall pick had some struggles throughout the earlier stages of his career due to injuries, the right-hander has done a very good job over the past few years when healthy.
He seems like the perfect option for a Brewers team that knows how to get the best out of its pitchers, and he might be able to be had for a much lower price than some of the other top players on the trade market.
