Shook is a 26 year old righty that seemed to have hit a roadblock in AA spending the last 3 seasons there with disappointing results.
Tyler Jay is a 30 year old LHP that was drafted 6th overall by Minnesota in 2015. He had mixed results and eventually health problems that lead him to an extended absence from baseball before a brief stint in independent ball before joining the Mets
Jays in AAA for now, no corresponding move was required since the 40 man was at 39. Worth taking a look at another lefty I guess but my expectations are low. It looks like he’ll pitch from the pen and throws low 90s.
Here’s the stat report for both!
Brewers give up TJ Shook: In Double A — 5-7, 4.90 ERA over 64.1 IP w/ 77 Ks and a 1.35 WHIP
Brewers acquire Tyler Jay: In MLB — 0-0, 7.71 ERA over 4.2 IP (4 ER) w/ 3 Ks and a 2.14 WHIP
Jay was optioned to the Sounds.
Pretty small trade. Don’t see Shook doing anything in the majors with a 4.90 in AA but you never know. Jay can provide some help this year if needed.
Might adding another lefty mean Hoby would be on the chopping block when Devin comes back??
One might say I am shook hearing about this trade.
