Dodgers - Brewers Part 1

[Deleted]

Dodgers and Brewers have agreed to a deal - Dodgers send Francisco Mejia + Tyler White to the Brewers for Ryan O'Hearn.

Francisco Mejia (2019/.5; 2020/.75; 2021/1; 2022/Arb1)
Tyler White (2019/1.02; 2020/1.02; 2021/Arb1)

for Ryan O'Hearn (2019/.5; 2020/.75; 2021/1; 2022/Arb 1)

With Bellinger manning CF for injured Bader, Dodgers were looking for more regular playing time from first base.  Brewers expressed interest in White previously as well as Mejia when Dodgers put him OTB.  To gain extra year of control on a 1B TC contract, Dodgers were willing to part with Mejia who was struggling to hit from the C slot.  Hopefully he lives up to the hype for Brewers, but Dodgers were looking for immediate help in the lineup. 

Thanks to Brewers GM Jerry for quick and direct negotiations, and best of luck with Mejia and White.

Brewers accept.

We've been mildly interested in White since his semi-breakout in the 2nd half of last year.  Unfortunately he's not getting much usage in the bigs this year but the potential is still there.  The Dodgers had expressed interest in O'Hearn previously.  I surmise he'd grown a bit sour on Mejia and the combo of these three players came together.  We also have Moreland and Martinez at 1B so we could afford to move O'Hearn for the upside of Mejia and White.

Thanks to the Dodgers for the deal.
