Social Media Reacts To Athletics-Brewers Trade
Here’s what people were saying about the trade:
Adam McCalvy: “The banged-up Brewers have made a trade: Acquired right-handed pitcher Joel Kuhnel from the A’s in exchange for cash. To make room on the 40-man, Quinn Priester was transferred to the 60-day IL.”
Curt Hogg: “The Brewers have acquired RHP Joel Kuhnel from the Athletics for cash. Kuhnel, who has a 4.21 ERA, 3.97 FIP and four saves in 25 appearances this year, was with the Brewers for two stints in 2024 but never appeared in a game. Third time should be the charm.”
@smichaelis234: “I thought Kuhnel was super interesting when they acquired him in 2024, so I like this. He’s got more ability to generate whiffs than his strikeout rate would lead you to believe.”
Hunter Baumgardt: “The Brewers have acquired RHP Joel Kuhnel from the A’s in exchange for cash. Kuhnel went 1-2 with a 4.21 ERA and 4 saves in 25 relief appearances with the Athletics this season. He was in the Brewers organization from June-July of 2024 but did not appear in a game.”
@AndrewFlora1: “Could be a sleeper pick up this year”
@LombardiLocks: “The Brewers will make Joel Kuhnel look like prime DeGrom”
@wisconsian2: “Athletics lost the trade already”
