Brewers acquire former Cy Young winner in trade with Mariners
The Brewers acquired the services of a pitcher with a long history of success.
The Milwaukee Brewers won their last two games heading into Tuesday after previously dropping four of six contests.
Manager Pat Murphy and the Brew Crew have shown signs of playoff potential while remaining five games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Division. On Tuesday, veteran MLB scribe Ken Rosenthal revealed the latest personnel move by the Brewers, one that netted Murphy’s team a former Cy Young winner in the process.
The news came amid a list of three Brewers who must be on the trading block ahead of the 2024 deadline. It was also revealed that one of Murphy’s rising stars needs Tommy John surgery on his elbow.
It’s been an eventful month for the Brewers to say the absolute least. Now the news cycle has brought the Brew Crew a star pitcher to add to their rotation.
Thirty-six-year-old former Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners in April but hasn’t pitched at the big league level yet this season.
On Tuesday, the Brewers traded for his services, sending cash considerations to the Mariners for his rights in the deal.
