4This makes no sense for Milwaukee. The very last thing they want is outfielders, and here they get two. The Brewers want pitching when they trade Burnes.
I think the Brewers would make this trade. Assuming Ward is healthy and passes his physical, both him and Drury would be starters. In a full season both would be expected to add 20+ homers each which is needed in the Brewer lineup. I agree with Jmont1 that Cabbage is not needed. Throw out the Cabbage and add a prospect pitcher. Milwaukee would have to add additional pitching from another trade or free agency. Although I don't think the Brewers are going to trade Burnes in the off season, these two players would be difficult to turn down. This is a good return for an expensive pitcher you are only going to have for one year. However, I don't think the Angels would make this trade.
Trey Cabbage is also a 1B/DH, however. This site puts him as an OF but in AAA this season he played 58 G as 1B, 4G in RF, 4G in CF, and 17 G in RF. He also played in 27G as DH.
Hmm, did not know that. Thanks for the info. I like the trade even better for the Brewers, but I don't think the Angels would make this deal.
