The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed reliever Joakim Soria from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for two players and cash considerations, the teams announced Thursday.
The White Sox will receive left-hander Kobi Medeiros and right-hander Wilber Perez from the Brewers, who will also receive cash considerations from Chicago.
The 34-year-old Soria had emerged as the White Sox's closer, compiling 16 saves this season. He had a 0.74 ERA with 32 strikeouts over his last 23 games dating to May 21. Chicago had acquired the veteran reliever from Kansas City as part of a three-team trade in January.
