It's obvious the Lyles deal spooked them.

How has Phelps been this year? This feels fairly meh to me. A guy the brewers probably could use but not a back end reliever by any stretch

looking at his stats, looks like trade was about right. Hatch is their 29th best prospect, his stats don't move the needle for me and he did miss all of last year.

He’s coming off TJ, and only pitched like 12 innings. Velo has been ticking up last few outings. He’s not missing bats so far this year though. Seems like a risky move for them for this year. He is controlled for cheap for next year though, which maybe it’s more about next year than this year. He has like a $1-$3 million team option.

meh, he's no Jordan Lyles.
