MIL gets: Leody Tavares CF TEX - $0.2 prospect
CHC gets: Mark Trumbo RF BAL - $11/2018, $11/2019, UFA/2020 Kyle Lewis RF SEA - $0.2 prospect
Tavares had been near untouchable on my farm team for the past year since he looks like one of the few guys in the minors who has the sky high ceiling and potential to progress to the #1 prospect overall as he advances towards the bigs. He's likely still 2-3 years away, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him as a top 5 prospect before graduating to the bigs and he's got the ceiling to be #1 overall. There's superstar potential with him.
But that being said, I'm in full-on buyer mode right now and this offer fit my current needs too well to pass up. Trumbo can fill my immediate need in RF while Kyle Lewis still provides excellent upside and potential to take over in RF around the time Trumbo's contract is up. Lewis is another one of my initial draftees that I'd previously traded and I'm very happy to acquire back (for a 2nd time).
Best of luck to Jerry and Milwaukee. Thanks for the deal!

The Brewers accept.
The Brewers are starting to think longer term and the chance to acquire a prospect with such upside as Taveras was enticing. He's still 2 or 3 years away from the bigs but he has the potential to be a 5-tool superstar.
Lewis has a ton of potential as well but just can't seem to get past his chronic knee problems. This played a part in our decision to trade him, as well as the fact that we have another kid we like a lot at the same position in Ona.
Trumbo is still a productive player but strikes out a ton and is clearly on the backside of his career.
We wish Mark and Kyle the best of luck with their new team.
Welcome to the Brew Crew, Leody!
