Astros Trade for McCullers, Get Fielder | Houston Astros News

The Astros and Brewers just pulled off a spicy trade before the season’s second half: Milwaukee grabs veteran pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. and lefty Colton Gordon for young outfielder Jadyn Fielder — son of MLB legend Prince Fielder. McCullers, an All-Star in 2017 but sidelined by injuries this year, could get a fresh start with a Brewers bullpen that’s revived pitchers before. Houston, meanwhile, sheds salary and adds a promising 21-year-old prospect who’s hitting well in the minors. Jadyn’s got big shoes to fill — his dad and granddad both hit 319 homers — but he’s just getting started. Classic baseball: now with a little family legacy thrown in.
