Dodgers Send Pitching Prospect to Milwaukee to Complete Knebel Trade

On Friday the Dodgers announced their part of the Corey Knebel trade with Milwaukee. The options originally were a player to be named later or cash considerations. LA went with the former. Moreover, pitching prospect Leo Crawford was sent to the Brewers to complete the deal.

Crawford is a 23-year-old left-hander who signed with the Dodgers out of Nicaragua. He made his pro debut as an 18-year-old in 2015 and posted a 1.41 ERA in 15 games (14 starts). Over 5 Minor League seasons, the lefty has accumulated a 33-26 record with a 3.22 ERA in 107 games, 88 of which were starts.
