The Milwaukee Brewers' Last Trade With Each Team

One of my favorite parts of each year's team media guide is the page listing the Brewers' last trade with all the other major league teams. Maybe it's because it's so esoteric, maybe it's because of all the "some-team-wanted-him?" thoughts it prompts, or maybe it's the idea that for years Brewers and Mariners management had a bitter blood feud getting in the way of amicable trading. I don't know. Either way, let's take a trip down memory lane, transaction-style:

(note: PTBNL below stands for "Player to be Named Later," defined here)

This information comes out of the Brewers' 2009 Media Guide. I believe all listed trades include someone on the 40-man roster for one of the teams. Any errors are mine in transcription or not diligently checking MLB's work.

Good stuff.

Alex Ochoa shows up twice as the most recent player traded away.
I always liked him.
Those were some pretty lean years.

Me too

but I always liked Roberto Petagine too.

A Marxist Empire.

Or a french-sounding… catcher, I believe?

by Mykenk on May 9, 2009 11:07 AM CDT up reply actions  

Yep, a catcher

Max St. Pierre

He was double-A roster fodder at the time, we released him, let him go to extended spring training to try to become a pitcher at age 30 or something, and now he’s back catching in the Tigers org.

Also, cheese.

This should explain things.

"I didn't realize his velocity was that high," said Macha, noting that radar readings aren't flashed during exhibition games.

The addition of Cordero was nice

But I’m thinking the Rangers are very much enjoying Nelson Cruz.

How far will this one fly?

New York Mets – 11/20/2007
