Well the timing may not have been what almost any were expecting, but the Brewers made their first trade of the season on Tuesday. And it unfortunately resulted in a fan favorite leaving Milwaukee.

Fans were shocked when it was announced that shortstop Orlando Arcia was being traded to the Atlanta Braves for right-handed pitchers Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel. Both new Brewers head to the Alternate Training Site.

Though he may not have fully lived up to expectations as a former top prospect of the team, Arcia will be sorely missed by fans for his infectious personality and often dazzling up-the-middle defense.
