Brewers acquire Gio Gonzalez from Nationals

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez from the Washington Nationals for two yet-to-be-named Minor Leaguers.

What It Means:

This is a big get for Milwaukee as there are three teams within three games of them for the last Wild Card spot. Gio will be a big upgrade over Freddy Peralta, who has a 5.47 and 5.81 ERA in July and August, respectively.

Gio heads to his new team with a 4.57 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 19.5% K%, 10.8% BB% and a .248 BAA.
