The Brewers and Giants would like to announce a trade!
The Brewers receive:
The Giants receive:
Pretty simple trade, the Giants had a need at 3B and the Brewers had a need, well, everywhere. If Napoli makes a big league roster Thames will man LF for us, if not, he'll man 1B. We also were able to get a prospect we like a lot and who's been tearing the cover off the ball this spring. He's a 3B by trade but has been playing a lot of 2B this spring. His path to the bigs at that position (2B) is less cumbersome so a position switch may be in store. We're excited to welcome both to the Brewers.
It's sad to see Hernan and his uber-position eligibility go but he wanted to play for a contender so we made the move. Thanks for his contributions to the Brewers organization and best of luck with his new team.
Thanks to the Giants GM for the quick and easy negotiations.
The Brewers receive:
- Eric Thames, 1B/LF, MIL - 18/$5 19/$6 20/$7.5(TO) 21/UFA
- Sheldon Neuse, 3B, OAK - $0.2 prospect
The Giants receive:
- Hernan Perez, 2B/3B/LF/CF/RF, MIL - 18/$1.53 19/ARB2 20/ARB3 21/UFA
