ESPN experts pitch Skubal, Miller blockbusters before Aug. 3 deadline

Milwaukee appears in proposals for both pitchers.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Jul 291 min read

What happened: Jeff Passan's proposal sends Tarik Skubal from Detroit to Milwaukee for Logan Henderson, Josh Adamczewski and Ricki Moneys. Paul Hembekides' concept sends Mason Miller to Milwaukee for Adamczewski, Braylon Payne, Bishop Letson and Sal Frelick.

Why it matters: Skubal would headline the rotation alongside Jacob Misiorowski, while Miller would give Milwaukee a late-inning anchor. Both concepts treat the club's farm depth as currency for a postseason push.

By the numbers: Milwaukee appears in two blockbuster concepts, with Josh Adamczewski included in both. The Skubal package contains three prospects; the Miller return contains three prospects and Sal Frelick.

What to watch: Trade talks can accelerate ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline, when clubs must convert proposals into final offers.
