There's a decent chance some Major League Baseball team will make a transaction July 31 that alters the trajectory of the 2025 season. Will it be the Milwaukee Brewers? The MLB trade deadline arrives at 5 p.m. CT, and teams will surely be busy working the phones up until the final moments.

Freddy Peralta turns in his shortest start of the season as the Brewers fall short of sweeping the Cubs at American Family Field.
