Brewers Add Outfield Depth with Low-Risk Matos Trade

On March 30th, Milwaukee Brewers kicking off the season undefeated at 3 wins and 0 losses

after sweeping the Chicago White Sox clean.

Before they tangle with the Tampa Bay Rays who started 1 and 2 against the Cardinals,

they scooped up some outfield help with a low risk trade.

They sent cash considerations to the San Francisco Giants and got back 24-year-old right-handed

hitter, Luis Matos.

News got major league experience with a career on base, plus lugging of 650 over 558 at bats.

Matos brings solid defense in pop 15 homers, 61 ribbies, and 7 steals lifetime.

Last season he hit 2-21 with a 690 OPS in 57 games for the Giants,

and this spring he posted 767 OPS at 2.

60.

With Jackson Churriol nursing an injury, this adds real depth to the outfield without

breaking the bank.

They also designated lefty Sammy Peralta for assignment to make room.
