Just a couple of hours prior to the trade deadline the Brewers traded Mauricio Dubon for Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black in what will be remembered in Brewers’ lore as the “ significant trade.”
There is hope that the trade will prove significant for the Brewers in the near term with Drew Pomeranz stabilizing the bullpen. There is likely even greater hope that the trade will prove significant in the long term with the acquisition of Ray Black, because this guy has some of the most explosive stuff in all of professional baseball.
Unfortunately, Black has suffered multiple setbacks in terms of injury and inconsistency.
