MILWAUKEE — On the precipice of the 2023 MLB Trade Deadline, the Milwaukee Brewers bolstered their bullpen by trading for Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Andrew Chafin — a left-handed veteran on an expiring deal.
The trade was first reported by MLB Insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic via Twitter. In the time since, longtime Arizona sports insider John Gambadoro took to Twitter, reporting that Peter Strezlecki will be sent back to the Diamondbacks.
