Brewers get Ray King from Nationals for PTBNL

[E.J.]

Brewers acquired LHP Ray King from the Nationals for a player to be named.

King rejoins the team he pitched for from 2000-02. The portly specialist had a 4.54 ERA for the Nationals. Left-handers, though, were hitting just .161 off him, showing that he can still be useful while facing one batter at a time. The Brewers are picking him up too late to include him on the playoff roster if they make it.

Yeah, we know he is big.

 

I dunno what the Brewers are thinking here. they must be desparate. Think they'd take Eyre off our hands? :wink:

[SouthSideRyan]

The logical thing would be to use King as the true LOOGY and let Shouse be a full inning setup man.

 

I don't know what the Yostian thing to do is though.

I asked Ray King to autograph a cheeseburger once.

 

He didn't think it was funny.

so how do post-August 31 trades work?

Aren't they no different than pre-August 31st trades, except the players aren't allowed on the playoff roster?

[Alfonso Soriano]

Oh crap.

Seasons Over

Burger joints in the greater Milwaukee area rejoice! Fielder and King on the same team? Hello, profit boost!

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

The trade should be 6-7 PTBNL...just to balance it out.

Are you guys talking about the same Eyre that has the best ERA on the Cubs staff since the all-star break? He is still walking guys at an alarming rate, and isn't a good pitcher overall right now, but you don't dump him when he's finally producing.

ah. for some reason I thought August 31 was the end all, be all trade deadline

[NCCubFan]

Ray gives new meaning to the term Burger King.

 

Imagine all the cheeseburgers sold in Milwaukee when King and Quevedo were on the team at the same time. :D

[TruffleShuffle]

between king and fielder, the sausages are going to be verrrrrrrry nervous during the races
