Where things stand
Antonio Senzatela has struggled since joining the Brewers at the trade deadline from Colorado, allowing runs in multiple consecutive appearances and surrendering key runs including a game-winning run in extra innings against San Diego and a three-run homer to Max Muncy against Los Angeles. The acquisition continues Milwaukee's pattern of unsuccessful bullpen additions at the deadline, though Senzatela did throw a scoreless inning in a recent 8-2 victory over the Mets. His early performance has raised questions about whether the trade deadline deal will pay dividends for the team.

Antonio Senzatela coverage
Chourio’s two home runs back Misiorowski in Brewers’ 8-2 win over Mets
Jackson Chourio went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBIs to lead the Brewers past the Mets 8-2 in the rubber match of their series. Jacob Misiorowski delivered another quality start, pitching six innings while allowing two runs on two hits with six strikeouts, despite dealing with mound issues throughout the game. The Brewers scored early and often, with Chourio's two-run homer in the fourth inning extending their lead to 4-0. Relief pitchers Antonio Senzatela, DL Hall, and Chad Patrick each threw a scoreless inning to close out the win.
Brew Crew BallPitching prospect Brewers traded away at deadline set to make MLB debut with Rockies
The Colorado Rockies are calling up left-handed reliever Mark Manfredi, who was acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers at the trade deadline as part of the return for pitcher Antonio Senzatela. Manfredi, a 9th-round pick in the 2023 draft, has impressed with his strikeout ability but has struggled with control throughout his minor league career, posting walk rates between 12.7% and 14.9%. Since joining the Rockies, he has appeared in four games with a 10.08 ERA, reflecting Colorado's need for bullpen depth.
Reviewing the BrewAntonio Senzatela's early Brewers performance continues frustrating trade deadline pattern
The Brewers acquired Antonio Senzatela and JoJo Romero from Colorado at the trade deadline, continuing a pattern of unsuccessful bullpen additions dating back to 2017. Senzatela has struggled early in Milwaukee, allowing runs in three consecutive appearances before briefly stabilizing, then surrendering the game-winning run to San Diego in extra innings and a three-run homer to Max Muncy against Los Angeles. The team's last truly impactful deadline bullpen acquisition was Drew Pomeranz in 2019, with recent additions like Shelby Miller, Nick Mears, and Andrew Chafin all posting poor results or suffering injuries.
Reviewing the BrewInjured Brewers reliever's path back to big leagues complicated by trade deadline additions
Joel Kuhnel, acquired by the Brewers from Oakland in early June, initially impressed with increased velocity but struggled with a 6.54 ERA over nine appearances before being placed on the injured list with shoulder impingement in early July. Now 12 days into a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville, Kuhnel faces an uncertain future as the Brewers' trade deadline acquisitions—Dustin May, Antonio Senzatela, and JoJo Romero—are expected to fill the bullpen roles he previously occupied. With pitchers limited to 30 days on rehab assignment and Romero expected to return later this month, Kuhnel could be designated for assignment once his rehab window closes unless roster expansion in September provides additional roster spots.
Reviewing the BrewScathing Brewers trade deadline review fails to capture how impressive Matt Arnold's pivot truly was
The Milwaukee Brewers pursued Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline with multiple packages featuring prospects Luis Peña, Jett Williams, and Alexander Frias, but the Tigers chose the Los Angeles Dodgers' offer instead. After missing out on Skubal, the Brewers quickly pivoted to acquire catcher Bo Naylor and pitchers Dustin May, JoJo Romero, and Antonio Senzatela, while protecting prospect Logan Henderson from any trade discussions. Though national evaluators criticized Milwaukee's deadline haul as insufficient compared to moves by other contenders, advanced metrics suggest Dustin May was an excellent fit and the best available rental starter the Brewers could have obtained.
