Brewers bet on depth with McCullers-Gordon rotation move
The Brewers are pursuing rotation depth by trading for Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon, leveraging their strong farm system to limit prospect losses. Gordon offers a healthy, controllable young arm with a strong pitch mix, while McCullers, returning from injury, could eat innings and be rehabbed for effectiveness—an approach aimed at the stretch run despite the risks of both players’ current form and health.
