Brewers Acquire LHP Tyler Webb

[Iheartfootball]

No doubt this team needs help in the pitching department, starters, relief, whatever. Cost wasn't too steep. I like it.

This is the type of trades I can get behind approaching the deadline. Cooper was clearly blocked at the big club - Thames, Aguilar (who is essentially the same age but has proven capable of hitting at the major league level), and Shaw are all manning the corners. Cordell is a super sub in the wings. I mean, Hernan could fill in at a moment's notice. Regardless, we definitively lack lefty arms in the minors and this is a high level/ major league ready candidate to throw into the mix with Hader and Wang.

Without further rambling, it just makes sense to swap prospects here. Good for both clubs. I hope Cooper proves this year isn't a fluke. I hope Webb slides in and maintains his fantastic K/BB ratio.

I really hope we are careful not to mess up out farm system. I still don't think we are ready.

This is a trade of one team's surplus to fill another team's weakness of equal role players that are dominating AAA.

Both guys are probably just role players/depth in the MLB but there's always the chance it's the Broxton for Rogers trade where one guy clearly thrives.

Yeah, I understand that. This seems like a fair trade. Just hoping we don't go overboard. Let the Cubs deplete their farm system.

Well the 1 week results were pretty meh for both teams.
