The Brewers traded Isaac Collins and Nick Mears to the Royals for Angel Zerpa, with the Brewers considering transitioning him from a bullpen role to a starting pitcher. Zerpa, who has postseason experience and a solid groundball rate, struggled against right-handed hitters and may need to adjust his pitch arsenal for starting duties. Milwaukee’s depth in starting pitchers could influence his role, especially if injuries arise or other pitchers leave. Zerpa is arbitration-eligible and controlled through 2028, making him a cost-effective addition.
