    The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to repeat similar success they had in 2024.  Milwaukee finished the season with a 93-69 overall record and won the NL Central with ease.

    While this off-season has seen a number of players leave, Milwaukee decided to go out and get a starting pitcher.

    According to a source at ESPN:

    The Milwaukee Brewers acquired right-handed pitcher Grant Anderson from the Texas Rangers for minor league left-hander Mason Molina on Thursday.

    The trade followed the Rangers’ decision to designate Anderson for assignment Monday.

    Anderson, 27, went 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA and one save in 23 relief appearances for Texas last season. He struck out 29, walked 10 and allowed 11 homers in 26⅔ innings.

    While pitching for Triple-A Round Rock last season, Anderson was 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA and one save in 26 appearances.

    That followed a 2023 season in which he was 2-1 with a 5.05 ERA in 26 relief outings for Texas.

    Molina, 21, was a seventh-round pick out of Arkansas in the 2024 amateur draft. He made two starts for Class A Carolina last season and struck out six over five shutout innings. Molina also made two postseason appearances last year — one for Carolina and one for Class A Wisconsin.

    It will be interesting to see how Anderson finds his role within Milwaukee’s organization.  Here is a look at some of his stats:
