Topa traded to Seattle

Looks like he was the Cal pitcher of the year. He’s a 22-year-old in A ball, so hopefully he can advance quickly.

Topa’s out of options right? Makes sense given that we have a backlog of relievers who can’t be optioned to AAA…

He has 2 options left according to Fangraphs. I’m guessing Brewers just think his arm is never going to get back to what it was after all the injuries.

I stand corrected. You’re probably right. I’ll take a guy with a potential 70-grade slider anytime for Topa.

This is definitely one of those, trade offer was so good you had to accept it. 

A Ball numbers and  height on the Freddy Peralta similarity line.  6Hits/9  4BB/11Ks per 9.  I wonder if he's a 40man rule 5 protection require since he began in 2018.  Still about 2 years away.  (Checked he wasn't this offseason, but I would assume next the Brewers would need to add him)

This seems like a steal for us. Am I missing anything other than his age? Control i guess?

Seattle just wants another option for their bullpen this year and is willing to give-up a nice prospect to get it.
