Less than two seasons removed from a World Series Championship, things are not going well for the Texas Rangers.

Entering Wednesday, Texas was 45-47 and 10 games out of first place in the AL West and 3 1/2 games out of an AL Wild Card spot.

With the trade deadline looming and the Rangers looking like they may not be postseason contenders, right fielder/designated hitter Adolis García is believed to be a prime trade candidate by many, including MLB Network analyst Greg Amsinger.

Amsinger predicted landing spots for his top 10 trade candidates, and he predicted that García would be playing for the Milwaukee Brewers when August rolls around.

"Adolis Garcia will get traded and he's the number one target for the Milwaukee Brewers," Amsinger said. "They need an outfielder that slugs and with Adolis hitting behind Christian Yelich, he'll make a good Brewers team even better."

Amsinger's prediction comes just one day after MLB writer Jeff Passan stated that the Brewers are one bat away from being true World Series contenders.

García's career .738 OPS and 132 home runs in seven seasons would certainly indicate that he's the type of power bat that Passan said Milwaukee could use in its lineup.

The Brewers certainly need more power in their lineup, as they are currently 22nd in baseball with just 89 home runs this season.

That gives them the second-fewest of the five teams from the NL Central, 19 spots behind the division-leading Chicago Cubs.

If Milwaukee has hopes of tracking down Chicago and winning a third straight NL Central title, it must make some move to add power to its lineup and García could be the perfect solution.
