8/01/25 Brewers Make Trades Before Deadline. MILWAUKEE, WI (WSAU) — The Milwaukee Brewers made a pair of deals before the trade deadline. 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

7/31/25 Brewers Bombshell: Buzzer-Beater Lands Jordan Montgomery Plus All-Star. The Milwaukee Brewers were quiet all day on Thursday until right at the end. Milwaukee's first big move of the day on Thursday was sending Nestor Cortes to the San Diego Padres right before the deadline. Milwaukee has a surplus of starting pitchers and Cortes was the odd man out. When the reports surfaced about Cortes going to San Diego, it seemed like that might be the last move of the day, but Milwaukee got one more buzzer beater in.

7/29/25 Brewers Reportedly Listening On Trade Offers For Veteran Starter. The Milwaukee Brewers aren't going to be categorized as sellers at this year's Trade Deadline, but they very well could trade from their big league roster. The starting rotation is an area of abundance for the Crew and it's always in high demand at this time of year. The Brewers have Nestor Cortes returning from the IL soon after missing the last four months almost with a flexor strain.

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? Cortes' season was derailed early on by a left flexor strain, and he's only made two starts since arriving in a trade with the New York Yankees. It would be hard to say the trade has flopped, though, since the Brewers appear to have found a starting position player in Caleb Durbin for ex-closer Devin Williams. Now that Cortes is nearly ready to return from the injured list, though, he doesn't project to have a spot in the starting rotation.

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.
