Brewers reporter Curt Hogg and host JR Radcliffe throw out a bunch of names -- some more seriously than others -- with the trade deadline right around the corner. Will the Milwaukee Brewers make a move? Does it change anything now that Freddy Peralta's health outlook has taken a positive turn and the offense has found a groove? Among the topics: Christian Yelich truly seems to have discovered something atop the lineup, Hunter Renfroe on fire, Devin Williams and his scoreless streak, Kolten Wong's shaky defense, Jackson Chourio arriving in Wisconsin and the players Milwaukee could conceivably offer in a trade.

Then, JR chats with Mike Caldwell (51:00), who won two World Series games for the 1982 Brewers, a team commemorating its 40th anniversary at American Family Field on Friday. Caldwell discusses his recollections from that season, his stellar 1978 campaign, an unforgettable 1979 brawl and his reputation as a Yankee Killer.
