Brewers acquire right-handed reliever Nick Mears from Rockies
Associated PressMILWAUKEE — The NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers added some depth to their injury-riddled bullpen Saturday by acquiring right-hander Nick Mears from the Colorado Rockies. “It came together really quickly,” Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Saturday. We’ve obviously had a lot of success here with our bullpen to this point and we felt like adding another good arm like Nick Mears was somebody that would continue to help our staff as well.” Mears has a 2-5 record and 4.93 ERA in 93 career relief appearances with the Pittsburgh Pirates and Rockies. So yeah, that was certainly a factor for our group and it was certainly a factor in the addition of Nick Mears.” The Brewers also had put left-handed reliever Rob Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list Friday with left elbow tendinitis.
