Nats Brewers deal

[Brewers GM (Tim)]

Nats receive:

Domingo Santana Year 5 of 7, $2.6m, Arb A
and
Gage Canning, spec

Brewers receive:

Brandon Drury Year 3 of 7

I had some OF depth and wanted some INF depth.

In my view Santana and Drury are similar players in similar situations (where Drury’s PAs are about 12 days into the season away from being cannibalized by Vladito’s moonshots); Gage is included to balance out the contracts/yrs of control.

Finally although still searching for an elusive three-way Tim deal but nonetheless a step in the right direction.

[Nationals GM (Tim)]

For me, this trade is all about Domingo Santana. I’ve always liked him as a player but his path to playing time is severely limited. My hope is that he’s moved to the White Sox for a few pieces of lint and he gets an opportunity for every day at bats. Let’s not forget he was a top 20 OF in 2017. The hope here is that he returns to that in 2019.

Accept.
