In total, there are seven players in the Milwaukee Brewers organization that are drawing interest.
MLB.com's Adam McCalvy recently had a chance to speak with general manager and president of baseball operations Matt Arnold, someone who knows a thing or two about what's going on behind the scenes.
To no surprise, teams are interested in not only the Brewers' top prospects, but their young pitchers as well.
For sellers, they're looking to get a return value that either has players who are close to big league ready, or major league players who remain under quite a few years of team control.
The Brewers have both of those things; it's just a matter of who, or how much, they want to part with at the deadline to go for broke here in 2026.
The trio of Brandon Sproat, Shane Drohan, and Logan Henderson are all drawing interest at the trade deadline. The Brewers have dealt with a few major blows to their pitching staff this season, so the last thing they want to do is deplete an already injury-plagued rotation.
That said, Henderson has dealt with some injury issues of his own. Sure, he's under team control until 2031, but so are Sproat and Drohan.
It's impossible to protect everyone at the deadline, and while Henderson has been elite when healthy, that's the big key. The 24-year-old seems to have all the tools, but this team simply can't afford to have him join Quinn Priester or Brandon Woodruff on the season-ending injured list.
That's not to say Henderson will get hurt again this season; it's just looking at his past and signifying the difference between his value on the market compared to Sproat or Drohan.
McCalvy confirmed that shortstops Jesus Made and Luis Pena have drawn interest alongside outfielder Josh Adamczweski and infielder Andrew Fischer.
Fischer has been a fast riser this season, and that's an understatement. Of these four players mentioned, he's outside the MLB's top 100. As the team's No. 7 prospect, could he be on the chopping block?
Adamczewski could be expendable as this team seems to have their outfield situation figured out. The 21-year-old currently ranks No. 6 in the organization, and he's the No. 90 overall prospect.
Made and Pena should be untouchables, and there's no need to dig any deeper into that. Made is the No. 1 prospect in all of baseball, so under no circumstances should Milwaukee trade him. Pena is the Brewers second best prospect, and he's also among the Top 20 in the league (No. 18).

Three big-league pitchers are drawing interest
