TheMilwaukee Brewershave been one of the best teams in the league for the last few years, but they're going to need to make a few moves this winter if they want to continue their success next season.
The Brewers have a big decision to make withFreddy Peralta. Peralta could be traded for a haul of prospects in the coming weeks, but the Brewers could make even more big moves. They could look to swing a handful of trades before this season begins.
Brewers could benefit from adding Davis Schneider to the roster

"With the aforementioned addition ofAngel Zerpa, Milwaukee now has a surplus of southpaws in their bullpen. That list includesAaron Ashby, Jared Koenig, Angel Zerpa,Rob Zastryzny, andDL Hall," Peterson wrote. "Koenig, who is in pre-arbitration in 2026 and will enter his first year of arbitration in 2027, has been a fireman for Milwaukee across the last two seasons. He's been one of their most valuable relief options, pitching to a 2.47 ERA in 62 innings in 2024 and a 2.86 ERA in 66 innings in 2025.

"Still, the bullen is a strength of this roster, and there is an opportunity to trade from a surplus here and improve the bench in a big way."
The Brewers' bullpen is one of their biggest strengths. But they have a plethora of left-handed pitching options they could trade from. Cutting ties with Koenig would help the team if they can net a solid return.
Landing Schneider would be a solid addition for the Brewers. He's a very good defensive outfielder with the offensive profile that plays well with the Brewers. They could look to help develop him as a hitter, which would bolster their lineup quite a bit. Adding him to their outfield would be a big upgrade as they look to win the National League Central again next season.
