The Brewers began the day by sending pitcher Nestor Cortes, infielder Jorge Quintana and cash to the San Diego Padres for outfielder Brandon Lockridge. Cortes pitched just two games for the Brewers before he was injured in April. He recently returned from the injured list. Milwaukee then acquired pitchers Shelby Miller and Jordan Montgomery from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash or a player to be named later. Miller was 3-3 with 10 saves and a 1.98 ERA for the D-Backs. Montgomery is out for the year with an injury. The Brewers return from a day off to play at Washington tonight. pre game show at 5:10 Source: https://wsau.com/2025/08/01/brewers-make-trades-be... |

| 7/29/25 | Yankees Reunion With Brewers Starter Remains Possible, Per Insider. Will the Milwaukee Brewers hang onto Nestor Cortes past the Thursday trade deadline?

| 7/29/25 | Yankees Could Bring Back All-Star Pitcher. As the New York Yankees look to fill out their starting rotation ahead of the July 31 deadline, perhaps they could reunite with a former All-Star of theirs who's become a hot trade candidate of late. The Milwaukee Brewers have surged up the standings over the past month and are tied for the best record in the National League at 62-43, but recent reports have suggested that they're open to dealing left-hander Nestor Cortes Jr. over the next few days. With that in mind, the New York Post's Jon Heyman believes that the Yankees could potentially look into bringing the 30-year-old back to the Bronx. Milwaukee has an exceptional amount of pitching depth while its starters own the second-best ERA in the league at 3.33, thus making Cortes expendable.

| 7/23/25 | Yankees Traded Flourishing Infielder for Struggling Closer. The New York Yankees have made their 2025 goals abundantly clear: They're trying to return to the World Series and win it all. In an effort to do so, the Pinstripes traded pitcher Nestor Cortes and infielder Caleb Durbin to the Milwaukee Brewers this season, adding closer Devin Williams to the roster. The Yankees are now looking to fill gaps in the both the bullpen and the infield before the MLB trade deadline rolls around at the end of the month.
