Brewers Trade for Pitching Reclamation | Houston Astros News

Brewers pull off a bold early trade, sending struggling Astros pitchers Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon — along with cash — to Milwaukee for promising 21-year-old prospect Jadyn Fielder, son of Prince Fielder. While McCullers and Gordon have posted high ERAs for two seasons, Milwaukee hopes its elite pitching development program can resurrect their careers. The Astros, meanwhile, gain a talented, disciplined hitter with upside — even if he hasn’t matched his dad’s power yet. With the Brewers already leading their division and boasting one of baseball’s best records, this risky move could be the spark they need to push deeper into the playoffs.
