The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired pitchers Lance McCullers Jr. and Colton Gordon from the Houston Astros in exchange for prospect Jadyn Fielder. This trade occurred ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline amid the All-Star Break. McCullers, a former All-Star, has struggled with a high ERA in recent years, while Gordon also has an unimpressive record.
