Bauers for Prospects

The Yankees traded Jake Bauers to the Brewers for two prospects:

After trading non-tender candidate Abraham Toro to the Oakland Athletics for a prospect, the Brewers are now on the opposite end of a similar deal. The club announced on Friday that it has acquired first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers from the New York Yankees in exchange for outfield prospects Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez.

The Brewers get a power bat they can control for three years for not a lot of money. Bauers pays for that power with a lot of outs, however.

Avina finished his age 20 season at single A where he was a walk machine with power. Sanchez, playing as an 18 year old in the Rookie League hits four trips in 128 PA with a very high OBP. If they develop right, the Yankees might have a nice table setter/ table clearer combination on their hands.
