Clearly, they have been looking around, as shown by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/brewers-lance-mccullers-jr-deal-looks-like-a-heist-for-milwaukee-pat3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">acquisition of Lance McCullers Jr.<\/a> from the Houston Astros last week. Milwaukee can&#8217;t stop there. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/brewers-lose-brandon-woodruff-for-2026-season-with-surgery-coming-pat3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">neither Woodruff<\/a> nor Priester <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/brewers-rotation-takes-big-hit-quinn-priester-out-for-2026-season-pat3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">coming back this season<\/a>, Milwaukee should add one more veteran hurler. Here are three options that are realistic, and would help to take the Brewers to another level. <\/p>\n<p>Reid Detmers \u2014\u00a0Los Angeles Angels<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01ky01afab3y6w1exdy0.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers\" title=\"Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"7s\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jul 9, 2026; Arlington, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Reid Detmers (48) comes off the field after he pitches against the Texas Rangers during the third inning at Globe Life Field. Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\">The Angels need to blow it up. Los Angeles is 39-61 and isn&#8217;t going anywhere. There aren&#8217;t signs that this club is going to turn things around any time soon. They need to trade veterans and improve the farm system as much as possible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/brewers-should-be-first-in-line-if-angels-reid-detmers-is-available-pat3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Detmers is someone<\/a> who could bring Los Angeles a good return. He&#8217;s 27 years old and has two more seasons of control left.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\">This season, he has a 4.16 ERA in 20 starts. Since June 5, he has a 3.47 ERA in eight starts. The Brewers have the best farm system in baseball. They could put together an enticing offer for Los Angeles. <\/p>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 Soriano \u2014 Los Angeles Angels<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01ky01kbgpczatfm4rqa.jpg\" alt=\"Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano\" title=\"Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"8c\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jul 7, 2026; Arlington, Texas, USA; Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano (59) delivers a pitch to the Texas Rangers during the first inning at Globe Life Field. Mandatory Credit: Jim Cowsert-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8g\">Again, the Angels need to blow it up. If not Detmers, then the Brewers should call the Angels and ask about Soriano. The righty has a 3.49 ERA in 20 starts this season. Plus, he also has two more seasons of control left beyond the 2026 season. <\/p>\n<p>Foster Griffin \u2014 Washington Nationals<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/01ky01qs769nmqdk2tt2.jpg\" alt=\"Washington Nationals pitcher Foster Griffin\" title=\"Washington Nationals pitcher Foster Griffin\" width=\"360\" height=\"203\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"8t\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Jul 19, 2026; West Sacramento, California, USA;  Washington Nationals pitcher Foster Griffin (22) throws to an Athletics batter during the first inning at Sutter Health Park. Mandatory Credit: Scott Marshall-Imagn Images | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"8x\">Griffin was an All-Star this season and will be a free agent after the 2026 season wraps up. When it comes to adding pitching, Griffin would likely be less expensive than someone like Detmers or Soriano simply because of the fact that he&#8217;s going to be a free agent after the season. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/mlb\/brewers\/onsi\/this-nationals-all-star-should-be-on-brewers-radar-right-now-pat3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">he would be a big addition<\/a> if Milwaukee could get him. He has a 2.68 ERA in 20 starts in his big return to the majors. Griffin hadn&#8217;t pitched in a big league game since 2022 before joining the Nationals.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Milwaukee Brewers have the second-best starting rotation ERA in baseball, despite all of the injuries impacting the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":379738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":["post-379737","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arlington","tag-arlington","tag-arlington-headlines","tag-arlington-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/379738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
