William Contreras Traded To The Brewers
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher William Contreras on Monday as part of a three-way trade that also involved the Atlanta Braves and Oakland Athletics, according to sources. The Brewers also acquired Joel Payamps and Justin Yeager in the three-way swap that sent Sean Murphy to the Braves and Manny Pina and Esteury Ruiz to the A's. Contreras became expendable for the Braves after they upgraded with Murphy, so he'll move to Milwaukee after making the All-Star for the first time in his career by slashing .278/.354/.506 with an .860 OPS, 20 home runs, 45 RBI, 51 runs scored and two steals in 376 plate appearances and 97 games. The 24-year-old figures to play every day for the Brew Crew at catcher and/or designated hitter.
