Brewers acquire left-hander Dallas Keuchel from Mariners for cash
MILWAUKEE — Dallas Keuchel believes he still has plenty to offer a major league team.
The Milwaukee Brewers are hoping the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner can provide a boost to their injury-riddled pitching staff now that he’s worked his way back into the majors. They sent cash to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday to acquire Keuchel, who had spent all of this season in the minors. The price was $1.
“I’ve worked through some injuries, kind of worked through some stuff – poor performance, health stuff,” the 36-year-old left-hander said Tuesday night. “But I knew deep down I still had a couple of years left.”
Keuchel has gone 7-4 with a 3.93 ERA in 13 starts with the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma this season. Keuchel last pitched in the majors with the Minnesota Twins in 2023, when he went 2-1 with a 5.97 ERA in 10 appearances.
“The fact that he still wants to play, the fact that he still wants to do it after all he’s accomplished, I think that sends a message right there,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “He’s a ballplayer.”
Keuchel owns a 103-92 record and 4.02 ERA in a major league career that includes two All-Star appearances, in 2015 and 2017. He went 20-8 with a 2.43 ERA with the Houston Astros in his Cy Young Award-winning season of 2015.
