MIL / ARI Trade

[Milwaukee Brewers]

The Brewers and D-Backs would like to announce a trade!

The Brewers trade:

• Trevor Cahill, SP, OAK - 18/7 19/7 20/7 21/UFA
  
• Luis Arraez, 2B/OF, MIN - $0.2 prospect
  
• Elijah Morgan, SP, $0.2 prospect

The D-Backs trade:

• Jorge Alfaro, C, PHI - 18/0.5 TC1
  
• Bryse Wilson, SP, ATL - $0.2 prospect
  
• Freddy Tarnok, SP, ATL - $0.2 prospect

The Brewers have inquired about Alfaro multiple times before.  Today was the day the D-Backs finally let him go.  He had been one of the top catching prospects in the minors for some time but never seemed able to get over the hump to realize that potential.  We're taking a chance that he finally figures it out.  We are also happy to add Wilson and Tarnok, two talented arms from a very deep Atlanta pitching system.

The D-Backs are getting two quality prospects in Arraez and Morgan and an experienced big-league pitcher in Cahill.  We wish them all the best with their new team.

Thanks to the D-Backs for the quick negotiations and deal.

The D-Backs accept this trade.


We felt the need to get another veteran onto our pitching staff and have done so with Cahill. His contract is very reasonable and he gets us 3 years for the young guys to develop. Arraez is a promising young 2B prospect that we like a lot. Morgan is a young pitching prospect who shows a little promise and starting to move up the ladder of prospects in the Cleveland system.


As always we hate to see quality prospects move on, but wish them well.


Thanks to the Brewers GM for the good negotiations and the deal!
