Drake was acquired from Baltimore for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Part of a flurry of moves between the Orioles and the Milwaukee Brewers that saw reliever Damien Magnifico dealt for an International Signing Bonus Slot. Drake may not have The Magnificent One’s ceiling, but his usefulness to a Major League bullpen is clear.
Drake made his first appearance for the Milwaukee Brewers in Friday night’s 10-4 blowout of the Reds in Cincinnati. He tossed two innings, allowed two hits and one unearned run, while striking out four, but his role may change in the coming weeks.
