Co-hosts David Gasper and Matt Carroll take a look at a couple of hypothetical Brewers trade proposals that popped up this week on this episode of the Cold Brew Podcast.

The Milwaukee Brewers had one of the most dominant rotations baseball has seen and we broke down this rotation, why these guys are successful, and how they work together to completely destroy hitters. We talk about each guy in this Brewers rotation - Corbin Burnes, Brandon Woodruff, Freddy Peralta, Adrian Houser, and Eric Lauer - with an in-depth look at their stuff and what makes them so successful.
