For as bad as the Brewers are supposed to be (projected to be 71-91 next year) as least they aren’t the Rockies. On Thursday trading outfielder Corey Dickerson to and minor leaguer to the Rays in exchange for left-handed reliever Jake McGee and a minor leaguer.
To begin with, that trade doesn’t make a whole lot of since (who trades an outfielder for a reliever?). Then Fangraphs pointed out how bad the trade actually is. Dickerson has four years left of club control, while McGee only has two left. Just a year ago Dickerson had 2.
