The Milwaukee Brewers have started the second half of their season on a mission. Mark Attanasio's team swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in dominant fashion and have not lost since the All-Star break. Milwaukee's 11-game winning is the longest in the league. With the Major League Baseball trade deadline coming up, the Brewers could pursue a star like Arizona's Eugenio Suarez.
Despite the Diamondbacks' struggles this season, Suarez has been electric. His 36 home runs trail only Cal Raleigh, putting him in elite company as a power hitter. Now that Suarez is on the trade block, teams are lining up. Because of the recent success, Attanasio could throw his hat in the ring. It would be a big move if he did; the Brewers are not an aggressive team in trades.
According to Ken Rosenthal, Milwaukee should take a chance on Suarez before the July 31 deadline. In his opinion, the veteran third baseman is worth the risk on a team that needs him on both ends.

“The left side of the infield should be an area of focus,” Rosenthal said. “I don't see why they can't be a team for Eugenio Suarez. They are the team, one of the few teams, that actually has pitching to trade. Now, I don't know that you trade young pitching for a rental, but maybe you expand the deal.”
The MLB world is ready to turn on its head during trade season. Suarez has emerged as the premier player who could put a contender over the hump as they chase a World Series title. His fit with the Brewers is a seamless one. While Caleb Durbin would likely be sent to the bench, Suarez's bat is too good to pass up on.
Milwaukee went on a big wining streak at the right time. Now it is just a matter of if Attanasio believes he has something special in this year's team. If he does, the Brewers could walk away as the biggest winner of the MLB trade deadline.
