You’re going to have to stay patient if you want an actual blockbuster at the MLB trade deadline.
For now, MLB fans will have to settle for the minor transactions like the four-player swap between the Brewers and Guardians on Saturday morning.
Milwaukee, the NL Central leader, landed catcher Bo Naylor and reliever Codi Heuer from Cleveland in exchange for outfielder Blake Perkins and reliever Craig Yoho, The Post’s Jon Heyman confirmed.
This deal lacks a headliner, with Naylor and Perkins carrying the most name recognition.
Naylor, 26, is heading to Milwaukee amid his worst season in the majors, with Mariners star Josh Naylor’s little brother slashing .143/.200/.4238 across 28 games and 90 plate appearances.
The Brewers have William Contreras and ex-Yankee Gary Sanchez as their catching duo, and Naylor seemingly provides depth.
Heuer, 30, has appeared in just eight games for the Guardians this year and has struggled to find a home in the majors, with Milwaukee — should he land on the roster — marking his sixth team.
He owns a 3.76 career ERA across 97 games since his 2020 debut.
Cleveland’s return package features Perkins, the light-hitting center fielder who will head to Triple-A, according to Heyman.
Perkins is a career .223 hitter with a .636 OPS, but he’s also enduring a career-worst slash line of .157/250/.258 across 101 plate appearances in 55 games.
Yoho may be the more useful piece for the Guardians, who are tied for second in the AL Central.
He’s posted a 3.15 ERA over 20 innings this season for the Brewers and has plenty of team control, since this is just his second year.
As these playoff contenders make minor deals, the baseball world is still waiting to see where Tigers ace Tarik Skubal lands and what impact bats may be traded.
The Brewers are in the hunt for Skubal, but the Dodgers are considered the favorites.
The MLB trade deadline is Monday at 6 p.m. ET.
