Just as everyone hoped, the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks have completed a deal at the trade deadline. However, that deal was not for slugging third baseman Eugenio Saúrez as most Brewers fans were wishing for, but rather was for two injured pitchers: right-handed reliever Shelby Miller and left-handed starter Jordan Montgomery.
The Brewers were known to be exploring the relief pitching market, but after the prospect prices for some of the top-end talent came back, Matt Arnold and company had to get creative with how they were going to add another shut-down arm to their bullpen.
