The Brewers and Rays would like to announce a trade! Yes, it only involves prospects, but it counts just the same! The Brewers receive: - Eric Lauer, SP, SD - $0.2 prospect
- Jordan Hicks, RP, STL - $0.2 prospect
The Rays receive:
- Kyle Funkhouser, SP, DET - $0.2 prospect
- Dillon Maples, RP, CHC - $0.2 prospect
- Ryan Lillie, SP, MIA - $0.2 prospect
- Drew Ferguson, OF, HOU - $0.2 prospect
- Bret Boswell, 2B, COL - $0.2 prospect
The Brewers have a healthy farm system and wanted to package a few players together to either upgrade player talent or to acquire guys they like. In this case, we were able to do both. We like Lauer's upsdide and had already tried acquiring him prior to his trade to Tampa. Hicks has a live arm out of the bullpen and scouts are saying it's possible he could reach the majors this year.
We appreciate the contributions Kyle, Dillon, Ryan, Drew and Bret have made to the Brewers organization and local community. Best of luck to them with their new team.
Thanks to the Rays for the back and forth negotiations and deal.

I accept the trade. Needed to get some numbers in my limited farm system. I wanna thank the Brewers for dealing with my indecision thru out the negotiations. Best of luck to both teams and players.
