Fiers :( and Gomez to Houston

[Kerb Hohl]

Whenever I'd see Santana's name in Houston's lineup, I was under the impression that he was an older, decent prospect.

25+ HR a few times in the minors and he's 22. This I like.

[crkone]

Yes to this deal. I like it. I like it a lot.

[Dcebucks11]

Wow this is a nice return.. Melvin did good

[Iheartfootball]

Thank goodness they got a few outfield prospects in return. I was worried about who was going to play CF.

[trwi7]

All the faps.

[ReasonablySober]

I was fine with the Mets deal but yea this is clearly better at first look.

[Aaron It Out]

Hooray

[BUCKnation]

Better haul than the mets deal.

[old ball coach]

just couple days ago, Houston said Philips was not available he is the real deal Santana free swinger with power not crazy about bot pitchers but decent arms still all in all good to great haul

[MikeIsGood]

I like what I'm reading. In the end, this worked out well

I wondered why we weren't hearing more about package deals. The Brewers have so much to offer in trades and most buyers theoretically should be interested in more than just one of our guys. I like how this went down. I think we should be offering Segura and Parra to the Mets to see if that will seal a good deal. There's a threshold effect involved in convincing buyers to part with really good prospects and the Brewers should be able to hit that threshold. Still wonder if using Ramirez as a sweetener would have been smarter than trading him for basically nothing.

[LittleRooster]

Wow! We made a great trade!!

[blazza18]

Good stuff. The rebuild might be real.

[Iheartfootball]

And now to lose the next 40 games in a row and contend for the 1st pick in the draft.

Santana free swinger with power

You don't walk 15% of the time if you're a free swinger. Guys like Segura and Gennett are free swingers. Santana is not.

[Stoltz3]

This is why I wanted to trade Fiers. Not to get prospects by himself, but to pry away a big prospect like Phillips.

[mlloyd10]

One hell of a deal. Phillips is a better version of Jay Bruce. Santana is a younger version on khris Davis.

[NeedsMoreCheese]

Still sad to see him go, but at least this haul isn't damaged goods and a utility guy. So I'll live.

[LittleRooster]

“@mattgarrioch: What a haul for Brewers. Love Phillips. If I were GM, I may have moved Gomez for Phillips straight up and I love Gomez.”

[Stoltz3]

One hell of a deal. Phillips is a better version of Jay Bruce. Santana is a younger version on khris Davis.

Please. No Khris Davis.
