Brewers Continue Search For Pitching Ace

The Milwaukee Brewers haven’t given up on getting a pitching ace from Tampa Bay, but they may have to go the free agent route. Several sources say Milwaukee is trying to trade for right hander Chris Archer, but the Rays may be lukewarm on the outfielders the Brewers are offering. Right now, M-L-B insider Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports says a deal appears “unlikely.” The Brewers have made an official offer to Yu Darvish and could try to sign pitchers like Jake Arrieta or Alex Cobb — a former Tampa Bay pitcher.
