Brewers get LH reliever Andrew Chafin from Diamondbacks, source tells

@TheAthletic

[StearnsFTW]

Good pickup pending cost of course 

[Brewcrew82]

Nice. Justin Wilson replacement.

Is Wilson done for the year? OR, is he dealing with short-term? I guess, this states: we don't know?

Lat injury, so probably done for the year.

Assuming this is for a modest return, I like the deal.

Now time to get greedy and get one more bat in the next 100 minutes.

[CheeseheadInQC]

D’Backs apparently looking for a catcher. If we were shopping Caratini…

[MVP2110]

Why is Arizona dealing a reliever when they are contending?

[KeithStone53151]

I'm cringing at the potential cost here. Chafin is certainly very valuable.

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Chafin had an ERA of 2.9 before getting tagged for 5 ERs against the Cardinals last Monday. 

[StearnsFTW]

Chafin was very good in '21 & '22.  Walks are up this year though.  If the Brewers can fix that, he has the potential to be excellent.

I'd be surprised if it's a top 15 type prospect, but we will find out soon enough.

[TheeAirbender]

Wouldn't be shocked if this is some kind of major league return, IMO.

[TURBO]

oh no, here comes the over-pay for an average RP...  Please be wrong, please be wrong...

He has a reasonable club option that will almost certainly be exercised barring injury. So there's a fair amount of value there. Plus, reliever...left handed...etc.

I have seen a couple places report it is for Peter Strzelecki

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

Apparently Peter Strezlecki is going back to Arizona.

Odd trade.

Strzelecki to Arizona

If this is the trade, I'm actually comfortable with it.

I can live with that. 

[OldHeidelberg]

We don't like Strzelecki anymore, right?

Not seeing a huge upgrade here.

[Brewcrew82]

Fine with Strzelecki. His bizarre loss of FB velocity this season really hurt his viability as a high-leverage reliever.
