The 2016 Trade Deadline was a whirlwind - the red baron wrote all about that this morning. The NL Central seemed to be particularly busy, though, with two rebuilding teams, two contending teams, and one team that no one really knows what is doing.

Brewers
The Rangers acquire catcher Jonathan Lucroy and right-handed reliever Jeremy Jeffress from the Brewers for center-field prospect Lewis Brinson, right-handed pitching prospect Luis Ortiz and a player to be named later.
