Cubs left fielder Ian Happ, who has been battling the Brewers as a division rival longer than anyone on the roster, had a different take on the situation.

Chicago, which had led the NL Central since April 12, is now tied with Milwaukee. But it just needs to do what it has done all season.

The Brewers could move Brice Turang to the Braves in exchange for Raisel Iglesias and Nacho Alvarez to make a 2025 World Series push.

Despite a bottom-10 payroll, the Brewers are among MLB's best teams again extracting the most out of their talent.

Well, they're likely not going to finish 122-40, but after a 6-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners July 21, the Brewers have won 11 straight games and suddenly have Major League Baseball's best record. That also means they've hurdled the rival Chicago Cubs in the National League Central Division standings.

The Brewers on Friday announced deals with first-round Draft pick Andrew Fischer and all of their other selections through the first 10 rounds. The signings were announced by VP of amateur acquisition Tod Johnson.

The Chicago Cubs need a third reliable starting pitcher, and the Kansas City Royals have the man for the job in last season's Cy Young runner-up, Seth Lugo.
