Brewers trade for Carlos Santana, a rough weekend in Atlanta and a conversation with Sal Frelick (07.31.2023)

Milwaukee Brewers Microbrew

The Brewers added a new bat in Carlos Santana, and he homered over the weekend, but that didn't change a brutal three-game showing against the Braves. Now outside of first place, what else will Milwaukee be cooking up at the trade deadline? Brewers reporter Todd Rosiak and JR Radcliffe discuss the deadline, the new addition and what takeaways can be gleaned from the three-game sweep at the hands of Atlanta. Will Julio Teheran and Jesse Winker play another game this year for the Brewers? How scary are the Cubs now? Plus: Justin Wilson goes down before he can throw a pitch and we once again ask our favorite question: Whither Keston Hiura?
In 3Up3Down, they chat about Freddy Peralta's 13-strikeout gem, Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick staying red hot and Brandon Woodruff getting closer to a return. Speaking of Woodruff, Remembrew When looks back at Woodruff's (non-)debut, when he also suffered an injury in the bullpen.
Then, JR chats with Frelick (47:30), who followed up his thrilling debut last week with his first career home run this week, another defensive gem and steady performances at the dish. They discuss his football career, his thumb injury that sidetracked him this season and much more.
