The Milwaukee Brewers had their sights set on acquiring a top-tier pitcher before the trade deadline — namely Tarik Skubal — but had to shift gears when the back-to-back AL Cy Young Award winner ended up with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Tarik Skubal wants to be “a chameleon in a sense” with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Skubal, the two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner, will join the Dodgers in their pursuit of a third consecutive World Series title before hitting free agency this off-season.

“Brewers acquiring RHP Dustin May and LH reliever Jo Jo Romero from Cardinals, source tells me and Will Sammon,” Rosenthal posted on X, formerly Twitter.

The Pittsburgh Pirates were able to address their bullpen twice more just before the deadline.
