MLB.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed starter Dustin May and left-handed reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals, and right-handed reliever Antonio Senzatela from the Colorado Rockies ahead of the MLB Trade Deadline to bolster their pitching staff.
- The Brewers traded two prospects, left-hander Mark Manfredi and shortstop Juan Martinez, to the Rockies as part of the deal for Senzatela.
- Dustin May, despite a mixed 2026 season marked by injury and inconsistency, showed strong performances earlier in the year and is viewed as a valuable addition to the Brewers' young rotation.
- JoJo Romero, recovering from an emergency appendectomy and currently on the injured list, is expected to return to pitching by the end of July and brings experience as a reliable left-handed reliever.
- Antonio Senzatela, a versatile 10-year MLB veteran, has transitioned to a full-time reliever role this season and provides multi-inning relief depth; all three acquisitions may be short-term rentals given their contract statuses.
