The Milwaukee Brewers are the smartest team in baseball, and it hurts to admit it. Trading Freddy Peralta after a career year was cold, but logical. They knew they weren't going to pay him $150M next year, so they flipped him for two elite prospects who will be in the majors by August. It feels like they are 'giving up,' but this is how they stay competitive for decades without a massive payroll. They sell high, reload, and win the Central anyway. It’s Moneyball on steroids.
