A look at the Brewers' starting pitching shortage; can the trade deadline save the day? Plus: chats with red-hot Keston Hiura and top prospect Brice Turang.

The trade deadline is right around the corner, and the Brewers figure to be busy, but can they do enough to overcome a sudden shortage of starting pitchers? Brewers beat reporter Todd Rosiak joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss the wild swings of Milwaukee's 3-3 week and what the Brewers have to offer in a potential trade before Wednesday's deadline. Updates on Travis Shaw, Jeremy Jeffress, Keston Hiura and Christian Yelich, who is back in the Triple Crown chase. 

Then, JR sits down with the red-hot Hiura, mere hours after he was named National League Player of the Week. How does he react to being the subject of fan conversation this year, and how did he create that compact swing? After that, it's a chat with the man who replaces Hiura as the organization's top prospect, Brice Turang. Could the 2018 first-round draft choice be part of any trade packages this week? The 19-year-old discusses his favorite artifact from his father's Major League playing days, the stressful time before he signed with the club last summer and working his way upward through the organization.
