Milwaukee is reportedly acquiring reliever Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies ahead of the MLB trade deadline, according to multiple outlets. Yahoo Sports reports the Brewers make the move as part of their second deadline transaction of the day, framing Senzatela as the addition of pitching depth from Colorado. The Athletic, citing a source, says Milwaukee is working to land Senzatela and describes his recent transition in role.
Senzatela is described across coverage as a long-time Colorado option who spent roughly a decade as a starter for the Rockies. More recently, he moves into the bullpen and has been used successfully in relief, which is reflected in the reporting that he is acquired specifically as a reliever rather than as a starting pitcher. All accounts characterize the trade as Milwaukee seeking additional bullpen help, while Colorado makes a corresponding personnel change involving a familiar player. Terms of the deal are not provided in the excerpts shared.
