A's-Brewers

[Oakland Athletics]

A's trade:

Chris Bassitt 2.5 mil/20 UFA/21


Brewers trade:


Blaze Alexander (Prospect)
Davis Wendzel (Prospect)
Mariel Bautista (Prospect)

A's accept. I don't really like giving up Bassitt but the farm is pretty bare, and the three players we got back are decent. Thanks to MIL for being patient and flexible in getting this deal done.

Brewers accept. 

You can never have too many arms, and given that we recently dealt Bundy we were looking to backfill the slot.

We like the prospects we gave up but they are not necessarily top-end guys so who knows what they'll become down the road.  Bassitt showed last year that he can put up solid numbers as a SP and he's cheap so could be an extension candidate before the season or even after the year given the salary involved.

Thanks to the A's for the talks and eventual deal.  Best of luck.
