Brewers' Yelich Injury: Trade for Astros' Paredes?

0:00On April 15th, Milwaukee Brewer's fans got some rough news this week. Star Outfielder Christian Yellich landed on the injured list with a strained adductor muscle, manager Pat Murphy says, expect him out for a while, and these injuries can drag on from weeks to months, depending on severity. Yellich was hitting hot before this, batting 314 with a 375 on base and 451 slugging, plus 1 homer and 10 RBIs. The brewers sit at 8 and 7 early in the season, but they are already missing Jackson Churriol too, fending out that line of quick. Losing their slugger hurts bad, especially after pitching woes last year that forced a mid-season trade. Milwaukee cannot afford to fall behind in the standings without a big bat stepping up right now. One hot idea floating around is a trade with the Houston Astros for third baseman Isaac Paredes. In a mock deal, the brewers grab Paredes as a designated hitter for power, while sending lefty Robert Gasser and Outfielder Garrett Mitchell too.

1:02Houston for immediate help. If Yellich is side mind long term, the brewers need to dial up that phone fast, plug in some pop, and keep pushing forward before the hole gets too. Deep. I'm Cory with the story, and you've been listening to Milwaukee Brewer's news today, AI Power Team Coverage.
