The MLB offseason is going to heat up in the near future and the Milwaukee Brewers will be an intriguing team to watch when it does.

During the 2024 season, the Brewers ended up winning the National League Central division quite easily. However, when the playoffs arrived, Milwaukee ended up being dispatched of easily.

Losing so quickly in the playoffs showed that the team is still a decent ways away from being a World Series contender. They will need to make some offseason moves in order to take the next step.

With that being said, there are quite a few avenues that the Brewers could pursue in order to achieve that improvement.

Milwaukee Brewers Urged to Pursue Bold Trade with Baltimore Orioles

One potential avenue would be to scour the trade market. They could look to land a piece or two in trades.

Keeping that in mind, a suggestion has been made for the Milwaukee Brewers to consider.

Deesha Thosar of Fox Sports believes that third base is a position of need for the Brewers. She has suggested that Milwaukee should consider pursuing a trade with the Baltimore Orioles for young prospect Coby Mayo.

“Dangling a star pitcher like Williams in front of contenders that need bullpen help should net the Brewers a big return, so perhaps they could aim to land Orioles third base prospect Coby Mayo, who has a ton of upside but has been somewhat held back by Baltimore’s influx of infielders.”

Mayo would certainly be an intriguing option for the Milwaukee Brewers. He is just 22 years old and has a very bright future ahead of him. However, he finds himself in a logjam with the Orioles.

During the 2024 MLB season, Mayo ended up playing in just 17 Major League games for Baltimore. In the minor leagues, he found quite a bit of success.

He played in 93 minor league games, hitting 25 home runs to go along with 73 RBI and slashing .293/.372/.592.

Those numbers, if they translate to the Majors, would be a massive boost for the Brewers. He would also become a long-term cornerstone piece in Milwaukee.

Would the Orioles be willing to trade Mayo? That would be the main question, but if they are then the Brewers should absolutely pursue a trade for him.
