The Brewers and Phillies would like to announce a trade!
Brewers trade:
Phillies trade:
The reason for this deal was simple: the Brewers needed a 1B given the uncertainty of Justin Bour's 2019 season. Sure, the salary is a bit more than desired but we have ample cap room so it's not an issue to absorb all of the contract. Health is always a concern with Ryan, but hopefully between him and Bour both we have a productive 1B active at all time.
Lolo is a player we like a lot but being able to unload his salary helps free up money in our minor league system. We wish him the best with his new team.
Thanks to the Phillies for the deal. Good luck to them in 2019.
