Brew King
I haven't seen a wire story, but Baseball Digest Daily reported in their newsletter that the Brewers acquired Ray King from the Nationals for an undetermined player.
The Washington Nationals today traded left-handed pitcher Ray King to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for a player to be named later.
King, 33, went 1-1 with a 4.54 ERA (17 ER/33.2 IP) in 55 games with the Nationals this season. He signed with the Nationals as a minor-league free agent on December 18, 2006.
King won't be allowed on a Brewers post-season roster. This is King's second stint with Milwaukee, but he's not the strikeout pitcher he was from 2000-2002. But it does give the Brewers a second lefty out of the bullpen, and King is still very effective versus left-handed batters.
Update: A commenter points out that Capuano is in the bullpen. I guess he's not taking Para's spot in the rotation.

Actually, it's a third lefty, unless you believe Capuano has been taken behind the shed and shot.
Sorry, I thought Capuano was still in the rotation. You're right.
They actually also have a AAA kid up as well, Mitch Stetter.
