It's the last deal the Brewers will pull off as the MLB trade deadline concluded. Bringing in Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery helps them bolster their bullpen while they navigate the remainder of the season.

Miller has been a relief pitcher throughout the 2025 season with the Diamondbacks, making 37 appearances. He has a 3-3 record, having a 1.98 ERA after 36.1 innings as he struck out 40 batters while conceding 24 hits and eight earned runs. As the season progressed, he became the unquestioned closer in Arizona until suffering a forearm injury the first week of July.
However, he is expected to be back in short order.
Montgomery, on the other hand, has been an active starter. He made 21 starts out of 25 contests, having an 8-7 record with a 6.23 ERA after 117 innings. He struck out 83 batters while conceding 149 hits, 81 earned runs, and 14 homers.
The Brewers may have one of the best records in the National League, but they can never be too careful with having a solid bullpen. That is why they made these deals at the deadline, giving that area much-needed depth.
