MIL / CHC Trade Jul 26, 2017 7:52:34 GMT -5

The Brewers and Cubs would like to announce a trade!

The Brewers receive:

Jake Reed, RP, MIN - $0.2 minors contract

The Cubs receive:

Eduardo Escobar, 3B/SS, MIN - 2.6/17 UFA/18

The Brewers likely were not going to re-sign Escobar given his expiring contract so moving him for a promising young arm was an easy decision.

Welcome to the Brew Crew, Jake, and best of luck on your hunt for the playoffs Eduardo!

Agreed. Thanks for the deal. I hate to give promising prospects for just a couple months of a player likely to sit on my bench... but the depth is important for my playoff push. My team knows this all too well after a rash of injuries this year...
