Last April, the Brewers swung a trade with the Seattle Mariners in a deal that didn’t make many headlines at the time, but brought David Freitas to the Brewers organization. Brewers fans weren’t all that familiar with the 30-year old Freitas, and he wasn’t that familiar with Milwaukee either.
Of his reaction to the trade, Freitas said “I was excited… It was a tough transition for [our family] but I think it was for the best. Seattle had a lot of catchers so I knew there was going to be a move, just didn’t know if it was going to be me or not.
