When the Milwaukee Brewers first acquired Drew Pomeranz from the Giants back in July, fans did not have a positive initial reaction. With some thinking it was going to be Madison Bumgarner or Will Smith, landing Pomeranz who had struggled as a starter and was just recently demoted to the bullpen seemed odd at first.
But Pomeranz turned out to be a pretty nice acquisition by GM David Stearns, becoming one of the Crew’s top and most trusted relievers down the stretch.
Pomeranz finished his contract and went into free agency on a high note, with teams excited about his potential as a bullpen weapon.
