Brewers' David Fry Traded to Guardians

Outfielder Departs Milwaukee for Cleveland

In a move that shook up the American League Central, the Milwaukee Brewers have traded catcher David Fry to the Cleveland Guardians. The deal, which was announced on Friday, saw the Brewers receive a minor league prospect in return.

Fry's Impact on Guardians

Fry, a 24-year-old backstop, joins a Guardians team that is in need of catching depth. He is expected to share the starting role with Austin Hedges, who is coming off an All-Star season.

In Friday's game against the Washington Nationals, Fry made an immediate impact for the Guardians. He launched a three-run home run in the seventh inning, breaking open a 1-0 game and leading Cleveland to a 7-1 victory.

Brewers' Future

With Fry's departure, the Brewers will look to their remaining catchers, Omar Narvaez and Manny Pina, to fill the void. Narvaez, who was acquired from the Mariners in the offseason, is expected to be the team's primary catcher.

The trade of Fry marks the latest chapter in a busy offseason for the Brewers, who have also signed closer Brad Hand, outfielder Andrew McCutchen, and infielder Mike Brosseau.
