MIL - PHI

[Philadelphia Phillies]

Phillies Trade:

Chance Adams, SP .2
Cristian Pache, CF .2
Willy Garcia, RF .51/TC2

Brewers Trade:

Brandon Crawford, SS 15(7.5 covered by MIL)/15(2 covered by MIL)/15(2 MIL)/15 (2 MIL)/FA
Matt Shoemaker, SP 6.11 (3 covered by MIL)/ARB3
Jen-Ho Tseng, SP .2

Phillies wanted to solve their SS hole for the near future and add depth to their rotation and hoping on a Shoemaker resurgence. Don't like giving up Adams and Pache who have great potential, but you have to give to get.

The Brewers accept.

Rather simple explanation, the rebuild is on in earnest. Shoemaker would not have been retained past this year and Crawford was a big salary on the books. Moving both helps advance the rebuild process. Tseng was the final piece needed to close the deal.

We're thrilled with the prospects we were able to get in Pache and Adams. We have high hopes for both. Hopefully Adams makes the rotation in short order and we can't wait to see Pache develop in the minors. Garcia was brought on board to man our outfield right away.

Thanks to the Phillies for the deal and best of luck to Shoemaker, Crawford and Tseng!
