Brewers Acquire Outfielder Luis Matos

0:00It's March 30th. Milwaukee Brewer's news today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Corey with the story. Milwaukee Brewer's just snagged outfielder Louis Matoes from the San Francisco Giants for straight cash on Monday, March 30th. They're hurting for right-handed bats after Jackson Churrio and Andrew Vaughn both broke their hands recently. Matoes is a 24-year-old former top prospect, who spent parts of the last three seasons with the Giants, but never fully broke through. And 178 big league games since 2023, he's hit 231 with 15 homers, 61 RBI's, and a 650. OPS. Brewer's fans got a taste of his power last August during the Giants series in Milwaukee, where he racked up six hits, two bombs, and four RBI's two. Help Sam Fran take two out of three. The Giants designated Matoes for assignment to clear space for Jared Oliva, who spent all of last year in the Brewer's triple A Nashville squad.

1:00Milwaukee returned the favor by DFA'ing lefty reliever Sammy Peralta to make room on their 40-man roster. This quick swap adds some pop to the outfield mix, giving the crew a fresh arm in the lineup as they push forward the season.
