Source: infielder Esteban Quiroz goes to Padres in trade for Colten Brewer. @Ken_Rosenthal on Brewer deal
— Evan Drellich (@EvanDrellich) November 20, 2018The stove is warming up! In the first significant transaction of the offseason, the Padres have traded Colten Brewer to the Red Sox. In return the team is getting minor league infielder Esteban Quiroz, but more significantly to today’s news, the move clears a spot off the 40-man roster.
Colten Brewer was signed nearly a year ago to the day as a free agent after spending six years in the Pirates and Yankees organizations.
