According to Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Brewers have acquired Carlos Santana from the Pirates.
Prospect shortstop Jhonny Severino will head to Pittsburgh in the deal. Santana was the everyday starter at 1B for the Pirates and will now join a Brewers team that has been starting Owen Miller at 1B with Rowdy Tellez on the IL. The switch-hitting Santana is batting .235/.321/.412 with 12 home runs and six steals in 94 games. He’s also 10th-best among 36 qualified 1B in Outs Above Average, so he can provide a boost to the Brewers’ infield defense. Santana could enter into a strong-side platoon with Owen Miller, which would push Miller back into his utility role and could force Rowdy Tellez to DH once Tellez returns from his broken ring finger.
