The Brewers have traded for a reliever at the deadline every full season inside this competitive window, so Shelby Miller's addition makes sense. With the Diamondbacks selling big-time, he was a sensible acquisition, even though he may not be ready right away because of injury.

The Brewers also acquired starter Jordan Montgomery in the Miller swap, but Montgomery is out for the season and a free agent after the year. Miller is likewise injured but should be back in August. Milwaukee also acquired catcher Danny Jansen from the Tampa Bay Rays in the days leading up to the deadline.
