The Brewers created several openings in their bullpen when they cut ties with Brent Suter, Brad Boxberger, Trevor Gott, Luis Perdomo, and Jandel Gustave earlier this month, but they added to their relief corps by acquiring Javy Guerra in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Guerra signed with the Boston Red Sox as an international free agent in 2012 and began his career as an infielder. He cracked the big leagues in 2018 as a member of the San Diego Padres.
His bat failed to develop, however. Guerra managed just a .665 OPS in his minor-league career and recorded two hits in a 13-game debut, prompting the Padres to convert him to the mound in 2019.
