The 2020 season was one to forget for Eric Lauer. In his first season with his new team, the Milwaukee Brewers, Lauer struggled mightily and couldn’t stick on the roster. Now, in 2021, he’s as valuable as ever to the Crew.
In November 2019, the Brewers made a four player trade with the San Diego Padres, sending budding star outfielder Trent Grisham and a consistent rotation presence in Zach Davies to San Diego in exchange for Luis Urias and Eric Lauer.
