Guardians / Brewers deal

[Brewers GM (Tim)]

Guardians receive:

-Adael Amador, spec
-Lenny Torres Jr, spec
-Cristian Gonzalez, spec
-Andre Jackson, yr 2, Arb A
-Pablo Reyes, yr 3, Arb A

Brewers receive:
-Michael King, yr4 Arb A, $7.1m, $5.3m reimbursed 2024
-Jake Diekman, 0.3m w/ ‘25 option

My team remains in need of SP and RP, and I am a fan of King’s. There is a chance Jackson and Reyes have non-zero positive value, but they are in this deal for cap purposes. Nice dealing, Thomas.

Guardians confirm.

For the 3rd time in the last 6 months, the Guardians and Brewers have a trade!

We had talked King for a while and I was looking for a top tier prospect in return. While the stats haven’t looked great for Amador this year, he’s got the lowest BABIP in the minors and is still on base at an over .300 clip thanks to his incredible plate discipline. I think he’s got a really good shot at producing like Jose Reyes used to. I’m sad to lose King who I got when he was in A ball, but I couldn’t pass up on the chance to get a truly elite prospect. The rest of the guys are lottery tickets, but if another one turns into a MLB piece, even better!

Thanks for the talks and patience, Tim! Best of luck the rest of the way!

You couldn’t have traded King before he dropped 22 on me!??
