As a Brewer fan I would love this trade, but IMO there is zero chance the A’s would make the deal. Yes they would have a very good pen, but it would severly cripple their offense. Pinder is awful and there is nobody else to p/u any offense for the loss of Chapman.
If I’m the Brewers, I would not make this trade. Chapman’s stats remind me of Shaw’s 2017-18 years with the Brewers only at a higher salary. The Brewers could definitely use that type of offensive output but not at the expense of a top relief pitcher and 3 good prospects.
This would give Oakland one Hell of a bullpen and Urias could handle 2B while Pinder moved to 3B… but I’m not sure on Turang.
