The Brewers and Nationals would like to announce a trade!
The Brewers receive:
The Nationals receive:
The Brewers will retain 50% ($5.5mil) of Grandal's 2018 salary.
The Brewers made this move to slot Miller in at 2B. We needed a warm body at either SS or 2B and had several offers out. This was the first one to be accepted. We knew we wouldn't be keeping Grandal after this year and we wanted to avoid having a dead roster spot. We know we are not going to be very competitive this year and had ample cap space to retain salary to make this happen. Also, we have more minor leaguers than allowed so we added one to entice owners and help us trim the sytem a bit. This deal, although not earth-shattering, helped the Brewers in several different aspects.
Thanks to Yasmai and Keegan for their time with the team. What's not to like about bringing Brad Miller to Miller Park? Was it meant to be?
Thanks to the Nats owner for the deal. Best of luck to them this season.
