MLB reporter Héctor Gómez wrote on Twitter that the Brewers had emerged "now as a top suitor" for Suárez, but the names he mentioned as a possible return lined up perfectly with our Journal Sentinel story proposing mock trades (with reaction and analysis from Curt Hogg), which seems fishy.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal pleads with the Brewers to trade for Diamondbacks 3B Eugenio Suarez at the MLB trade deadline.

The Brewers could pair the 30-year-old Jansen with starting catcher William Contreras, a two-time All-Star who has been less productive at the plate this season. Though Jansen is batting just .204, he has posted an .820 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Contreras has produced a .625 OPS since June 1.
