The Milwaukee Brewers added a left-hander for their bullpen in a trade completed Thursday with the Texas Rangers. Twenty-six-year-old Alex Claudio is a soft-throwing, side-arming pitcher who produced a 4-point-48 earned run average in 66 games last year for the Rangers. He was even more effective in 2017 with a 2-point-50 E-R-A and 11 saves in 70 games. Milwaukee gave up its competitive balance round-A draft pack in 2019 for Claudio.
