Christian Yelich wanted out of Miami. On Thursday, he got his wish.
The rebuilding Marlins traded Yelich to the Milwaukee Brewers for a package of four prospects, including outfielder Lewis Brinson, who is rated as the No. 18 overall prospect in baseball, according to Baseball America.
Yelich became the third outfielder traded by the Marlins this winter.
After the Marlins dealt Giancarlo Stanton and Marcell Ozuna in separate trades last month, Yelich asked to be traded, as well.
