Brewers Trade for Rockies' Nick Mears to Strengthen Bullpen

Milwaukee sends Bradley Blalock and Yujanyer Herrera to Colorado, places Bryan Hudson on IL

Nick Mears brings a 96.7 mph fastball and a recent 1.80 ERA over his last 12 outings.
Mears is under team control through 2027, providing long-term bullpen depth.
The Brewers' bullpen will be further bolstered with the imminent return of key relievers.
Bryan Hudson, a standout left-hander, is sidelined with an oblique strain.
Tyler Jay, recently acquired from the Mets, is recalled from Triple-A Nashville.
