The Milwaukee Brewers have made a trade with the New York Yankees, acquiring young right-handed pitcher Joshua Quezada in exchange for left-handed pitcher Clayton Andrews. The deal was finalized on Wednesday afternoon.

Andrews, a 27-year-old player who was a 17th round pick by the Brewers in the 2018 MLB Draft, had a short stint in the majors in 2023. In four appearances, he struggled, recording a 27.00 ERA across 3 1/3 innings. He gave up 11 runs (10 earned) on 10 hits and two walks, while striking out four batters.

On the minor league circuit, Andrews had an impressive record of 18-6 and a solid 3.14 ERA with 235 strikeouts in 169 innings. He made one start and appeared in 121 relief outings over five seasons across different levels. However, he was recently designated for assignment following the signing of Jakob Junis.

In contrast, Quezada is a promising 19-year-old prospect who joined the Yankees as an undrafted free agent in January of 2023. During his first season in the Dominican Summer League, he put up impressive numbers, going 6-0 with a 3.69 ERA. Quezada showcased his potential in 11 appearances, including four starts, where he struck out 48 batters. He allowed 22 runs (19 earned) on 36 hits and 18 walks across 46 1/3 innings, limiting opposing batters to a .214 batting average.

This trade provides the Brewers with a young talent in Quezada, who has already shown promise at a young age. The team hopes that he will continue to develop and contribute to their pitching rotation in the future. On the other hand, the Yankees acquire Andrews, who could potentially find success in a new environment.

Both teams are optimistic about the prospects they have acquired, and it will be interesting to see how these players' careers unfold with their new organizations.
