Hour 2: Braun on Skubal, Prospects and Hope

Hour 2 begins with Ben and Kyle trying to process the May-Romero trade, weighing the value of immediate pitching help against the risk of moving two promising Brewers prospects. Ryan Braun joins the Yuengling Legends Line and says Skubal going to the Dodgers meaningfully raises the challenge for Milwaukee, especially because it keeps the Brewers from pairing Skubal with Jacob Misiorowski in a playoff series. Braun gives the Brewers’ pitching lab the benefit of the doubt with May and Romero, saying the organization has a strong track record of unlocking better versions of pitchers. He also discusses what trade deadline day feels like inside a clubhouse, why postseason experience matters for young hitters, and why he would be open-minded about calling up Jesús Made if Milwaukee does not add a major bat. After Braun leaves, the Cubs continue adding pitching, while the guys debate whether the Brewers’ deadline can still deliver one more meaningful move.
