I aint drunk Im just drinking
Brewers acquired RHP Joakim Soria from the White Sox for LHP Kodi Medeiros and RHP Wilber Perez.
Soria adds more firepower to a Brewers bullpen that has been among the top units in baseball all season. The 34-year-old right-hander was sporting a 2.56 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 49/10 K/BB ratio in 38 2/3 innings this season for the White Sox, and he had earned 16 saves in 19 attempts. He'll work in a setup role in Milwaukee. Jace Fry seems like the best bet to take over ninth-inning duties in Chicago.
Astros acquired C Martin Maldonado from the Angels for LHP Patrick Sandoval and $250,000 in international bonus pool money.
Maldonado has batted just .223/.284/.332 in 290 plate appearances this season, but he's a tremendous defensive catcher -- he won the Gold Glove in the American League in 2017 -- and the Astros have been looking for help behind the plate since losing Brian McCann to knee surgery in early July. Maldonado will share time in Houston with Max Stassi, with Stassi getting the bulk of starts.
