The Brewers and Marlins would like to announce a trade!
Brewers receive:
Marlins receive:
After several days of negotiations, and many trade iterations larger than this one, we finally settled on this version. Although it is geared long-term both ways, we were able to acquire a big-league SP, albeit and oft-injured one, that's both relatively young and cheap with considerable upside. We know we're losing multiple SP to FA after the season (if not dealt within the next week) and having been through it before, we know how crazy stupid the FA market can be for SP. While Rodon won't be ready for the start of the year, we anticipate having him in our rotation approximately 1 year from now. It will be like making a trade for the stretch run next year.
The cost was a bit steep in giving up one of our best prospects in Florial, but with the recent acquisition of Pache we felt we could move him in the right deal. Palumbo debuted earlier this year but has seemingly taken a step back in his development this summer. There's certainly considerable upside there though as evidenced by his minor league K rate.
Thanks to the Marlins for the prolonged trade talk. It took a while, but for me that's half the fun. Best of luck going forward.
