9. Dallas Keuchel, SP

We continue this list by addressing the Brewers’ biggest need-a starting pitcher. Not only does Dallas Keuchel fit that category, but he’d also give them a left-handed starter. Something they desperately need.

He had a solid season for the Atlanta Braves last season, going 8-8 in 19 starts with a 3.75 ERA after signing with them in the middle of the season. Keuchel doesn’t strike out a lot of batters, instead, relying on his defense to do the dirty work. That could be dangerous in Miller Park.

He’ll be 32-years-old at the start of next season and is likely looking for one final multi-year deal he didn’t get last offseason. The Brewers’ willingness to pay him multiple years could be the deal-breaker in any potential negotiations.
