The Brewers receive:
- Matt Shoemaker, SP, LAA - 18/6.11 19/ARB3 20/UFA
- Hernan Perez, Swiss Army Knife, MIL - 18/1.53 19/ARB2 20/ARB3 21/UFA
The Mariners receive:
- Greg Allen, OF, CLE - 18/.5 19/1 20/2 21/ARB1 22/ARB2 23/ARB3 24/UFA
- Jose de Leon, SP, TAM - 18/.5 19/1 20/2 21/ARB1 22/ARB2 23/ARB3 24/UFA
- AJ Minter, RP, ATL - 18/.5 19/1 20/2 21/ARB1 22/ARB2 23/ARB3 24/UFA
- Bryse Wilson, SP, ATL - 0.2 prospect
Shoemaker is a solid SP addition to the Brewers rotation and Perez provides tremendous roster depth as he will can play nearly anywhere on the field. He should retain eligibility at 5 positions going into next season.
It's always hard to give up young talent sometimes it's necessary to swing a deal. Allen had always been a team favorite just hasn't gotten his chance at consistent playing time. Hopefully he'll find that in Seattle. De Leon has great upside but needs to show he can stay healthy. Minter was great during his callup last year but already had lots of competition in the Brewers bullpen. Wilson looks to have a promising arm but is a couple years away. This move was about getting MLB help now more than anything else.
Team Management wants to thank all the contributions made to the organization and wish Greg, Jose, AJ and Bryse all the best with their new team.
Thanks to the Seattle GM for his willingness to complete a deal in short order. Maybe the first or many.
