The Brewers and Angels would like to announce a trade!
Going to the Angels are:
Going to the Brewers are:
Negotiations started with the Angels inquiring about Rondon and progressed from there. With his new role in Houston and the fact that he's on an expiring contract we wanted to cash in on him while we could. Our main target was Nevin, who we like quite a bit, but had to keep adding pieces on each side until we felt things were even.
In addition to Nevin we're happy to add Rosario, Speas and Crawford to the organization. They're all having solid seasons and we look forward to their continued development.
We hated giving up Smith and Schrock but they were necessary for this deal to proceed. They are both ranked pretty high within their organizations, hence the reason we're getting more coming back our way. With that said, we do like our return.
Best of luck to the Angels and thanks for the trade talks.
