With the Milwaukee Brewers struggling, the possibility of a fire sale became more of a probability as the season wore on. Aramis Ramirez is one of the veterans the Brewers decided to part ways with, trading him to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
In exchange for Ramirez and cash considerations, the 42-53 Brewers received Yhonathan Barrios.
Bill Brink of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette pointed out the Pirates dealt Ramirez 12 years ago to the day.
After hitting .300 with 27 home runs and 105 RBI in his first season with the Brewers in 2012, the three-time All-Star and 2011 Silver Slugger award winner has seen his stats take a dip over the past three seasons.
