While the baseball world waits with bated breath to see where Yoshinobu Yamamoto will sign in the coming days, the Mets went ahead and made a trade. Specifically, David Stearns made a deal with his old club, the Brewers.
The Mets acquired starting pitcher Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Milwaukee in exchange for minor leaguer Coleman Crow, according to Ken Rosenthal. The deal will save the Brewers roughly $7.3 million, which is what Houser and Taylor are projected to earn in arbitration according to MLB Trade Rumors.
