Brewer and Argonauts strike a big deal
Division rivals Grants Pass Brewers and Mother Lode Argonauts have struck a deal swapping some major talent.
The Brewers send Sandy Alcantara ($500K, 2023), Dereck Rodriguez ($5.25M, 2021) and prospects Jeter Downs and George Valera to Mother Lode in exchange for Mike Clevinger ($500K, 2021), Tommy Pham ($6.5M, 2021), and Derek Dietrich ($765K, 2021).
The Brewers add Clevinger to a rotation already lead by Yu Darvish and Noah Syndergaard, while adding the well rounded offensive game of Pham to the middle of the order and getting a useful utility bat in Dietrich.
For the Argonauts part, they add a young SP still 2 years away from arbitration and two star potential prospects in Downs and Valera.
Good working with you Matt. And thanks for dealing with all the craziness of my schedule this week.
