Brewers/Diamondbacks

[Arizona Diamondbacks]

After 3 days of negotiations the Brewers and D-Backs have agreed to the following deal...


Brewers get:
   Frankie Montas, SP, A's.  2020/1M  2021/ARB1  2022/ARB2  2023/ARB3
   Miguel Andujar, 3B, Yankees.  2020/1M 2021/ARB1 2022/ARB2 2023/ARB3
   Ryan Vilade, SS, Rockies.  2020/0.25M  prospect
   Lenny Torres, SP, Indians.  2020/0.25M  prospect
   Osleivis Basabe, SS, Rangers.  2020/0.2M  prospect


D-Backs get:
   Adalberto Mondesi, SS/2B, Royals.  2020/1.02M  2021/ARB1  2022/ARB2  2023/ARB3
   Hanser Alberto, 2B/3B, Orioles.  2020/4M  2021/6M  2022/UFA
   Merrill Kelly, SP, Diamondbacks.  2020/7M  2021/7M  2022/UFA
   Adam Hall, SS, Orioles.  2020/0.2M  prospect
   James Kaprielian, SP, A's.  2020/0.2M  prospect


The D-Backs felt this was a necessary trade. We hate to see Montas, Andujar, Vilade, Torres, and Basabe go, they are a bunch of very talented players. But, we feel we got equal talent in return and in places where are needs were greater. In Mondesi we now have our SS for the next several years...he is young and talented at a positions that we struggle to find anyone at each year. Alberto had a very fine rookie year. He is not Andujar, but if he repeats his rookie success he is not that far below. Kelly gives us a better than decent replacement for Montas. Hall & Kaprielian give us some talented MiLB guys to replace the talent dealt away.

All in all, I think this deal was a win win. Both teams got pieces they wanted/needed.

Thanks to Jerry for sticking with the negotiations and making this happen! Good luck this season!

Brewers accept. 

It took us a while to settle on a deal but in the end I think both sides got things they were looking for.

The Diamondbacks got a SS to build around and the Brewers got an upgrade at SP and potentially a 3B of the future.  We each got prospects we like too.

Thanks to the Diamondbacks for the prolonged talks and the eventual deal.  Best of luck this season.
