Athletics / Brewers

[Athletics GM (Jared)]

Athletics send:
Drew Gilbert, OF (HOU)
Hunter Barco, SP (PIT)
Aaron Schunk, CI (COL)

to the Brewers for:
Christian Yelich, OF (MIL) - bought down to $15m per season
Taylor Rogers, RP (SF) - $2.7m, 2yrs


Pushing my chips in a little bit on this season. Hate to move a top Astros prospect and an ex-Gator in Barco...kind of a double wammy to my homer buttons...but this makes sense when I look at the standings and my opportunity to grab a division title. Over to Duston for confirmation.

Confirm. I’ve been trying to trade Yelich since he doesn’t make sense for where my team is. I didn’t see a way to trade him without buying down his contract. Glad to get 3 prospects I really like, especially in Gilbert.
