Jake Petricka’s brief time with the Milwaukee Brewers is officially coming to an end. Without a spot for him on the 40-man roster, general manager David Stearns is trading the veteran groundball specialist to the Texas Rangers.
The Athletic’s Robert Murray was the first to break the news, which was officially announced by the team minutes later.
