Brewers Acquire McCullers in Late-Season Trade | Houston Astros News

The Milwaukee Brewers pull off a bold late-season move, acquiring veteran pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. from the Houston Astros — a 2017 All-Star and two-time World Series champ currently rehabbing from a rotator cuff injury. McCullers, entering his final year of a $85M contract, brings playoff experience but comes with injury baggage. In return, the Astros send up a promising young arm, Gordon, a 2021 draft pick still finding his footing in the majors. With the Brewers surging in first place and the Astros scrambling for a wild card, this trade reshapes both rosters as they head into crucial stretch games — Brewers at Marlins, Astros at Orioles.
