The Milwaukee Brewers have finally kicked off their 2015 Trade Season. It seems as though we have been talking about a rebuild since the day this mostly dreadful season began, and it has been a long wait for those who have been conjecturing about trade possibilities for months. Doug Melvin’s first trade of the 2015 season has sent third baseman Aramis Ramirez to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for minor league RHP Yhonathan Barrios.

The Pirates had already been rumored to be looking for an infielder after Josh Harrison went down with injury.
