On Monday morning, the Brewers announced the acquisition of 24-year-old starting pitcher Quinn Priester in exchange for a competitive balance pick in this year’s draft, outfield prospect Yophery Rodriguez, and a player to be named later.
Priester was originally a first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates back in 2018 but has been held back by a fastball that opposing hitters have so far treated like batting practice.
