Christian Yelich Traded to Brewers as Marlins' Fire Sale Continues

Christian Yelich is on the move after the Miami Marlins traded the star outfielder to the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic first reported Milwaukee acquired Yelich. The Brewers' official Twitter account later confirmed the move and added that the Marlins received outfielders Lewis Brinson and Monte Harrison, infielder Isan Diaz and pitcher Jordan Yamamoto in return.

The Marlins have been selling off their most expensive assets this offseason. Dee Gordon, Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna have all been dealt as part of ownership's initiative to get the team's payroll down to $90 million.
