Brewers' Patrick Haunts Diamondbacks

0:00It's April 28, I'm Cory with the story and this is MLB News Today Baseball News powered by AI. Picture this, a 27-year-old right-hander with a 2.35 ERA takes the mound for the brewers against his old team, the Diamondbacks, that's Chad Patrick, who Arizona shipped off in a trade that looks worse by the day. Back in 2023, the D-backs were chasing playoffs and grabbed veteran infielder Jayce Peterson from Oakland. In return, they gave up Patrick, then a 24-year-old with a 4.7-1 ERA in AA. Peterson was supposed to steady the infield, but he barely made a dent. Fans and analysts barely blinked at losing Patrick back then, especially after Peterson's rough start. He hit just 183 in 2023, then tanked even harder the next year before getting cut. As in play Pro Ball since, fast-forward, and the brewers scooped Patrick from Oakland for their own infielder. Milwaukee's pitching magic turned him into a stud, 3.53 ERA in his 2025 debut with 127

1:05strikeouts. Over 119 innings. This year, he's sharper in 23 innings across five outings. Meanwhile, Arizona's Merrill Kelly faces the guy they let go, a stinging reminder of shaky pitching depth. Hindsight hits hard when trades like this haunt the rotation.
