The Milwaukee Brewers had the best record in baseball this past season.

That sets this offseason up as yet another chance for the Brewers to seek out the roster construction that gets them over the hump in the postseason.
MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince has some ideas. He wrote a new article Friday that has a number of three-team trade suggestions in it.
For the Brewers, he came up with a concept that also involves the Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays.
In the idea, Castrovince has the Brewers landing second baseman Brandon Lowe and first baseman Yandy Diaz from the Rays, top pitching prospect Cam Caminiti from the Braves and outfield prospect Diego Tornes from the Braves.

Milwaukee also sends shortstop Joey Ortiz to the Rays, who also get shortstop prospect Tate Southisene and pitching prospect Blake Burkhalter from the Braves.
The Brewers can spare Peralta since Brandon Woodruff accepted his qualifying offer and will be back in the rotation.
"The Brewers obviously had a fantastic season with the lineup as it was, but the postseason was evidence that they need more power," Castrovince writes. "A Peralta trade could help them land it, and here we’ve supplied them that in the form of Lowe and Díaz, both of whom are pending free agents on reasonable salaries. Lowe could take over second base, with the Gold Glove-winning Brice Turang able to slide over to short in place of Ortiz, whose bat didn’t pan out in 2025. Díaz can play first base, where Rhys Hoskins is a free agent and the magic of Andrew Vaughn may have begun to run out when he went homerless in his last 35 regular-season games."

And the Rays have seemed to want to get out from Lowe and Diaz for a while, which this would accomplish.
