About three weeks ago the Brewers made a big trade with the Rays to acquire Willy Adames and Trevor Richards. The price of that trade was departing with bullpen arms J.P. Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen. This created a need for the Brewers to add a few pitchers to shore up their bullpen.
Today, among a flurry of roster moves, the Brewers acquired RHP Hunter Strickland from the Los Angels Angels.
