NL Central-leading Brewers acquire reliever Bush from Texas

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — The NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers acquired hard-throwing reliever and former No. 1 overall draft pick Matt Bush from the Texas Rangers on Monday night for infielder Mark Mathias and a top pitching prospect. “It’s also really exciting to go to the Brewers, a team that’s really winning right now and has a chance of going to the playoffs and doing big things.” Texas got Mathias and left-handed pitcher Antoine Kelly. In 180 big league games as a pitcher, he is 12-7 with a 3.34 ERA and 188 strikeouts in 177 2/3 innings Bush was a 30-year-old rookie when he made his major league debut with Texas in 2016. “My family and I have been treated so well here and I feel like the organization’s always taken care of myself first and then baseball.” While with the Tampa Bay Rays organization in 2012, Bush had a DUI accident during spring training that seriously injured, and nearly killed, a 72-year-old man on a motorcycle.
