Brewers Bolster Bullpen with Taylor Clarke Trade

The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired veteran reliever Taylor Clarke from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for prospects Cam Devanney and Ryan Brady. Despite Clarke's career ERA over 5, the Brewers saw potential in his repertoire, particularly his pair of sliders. With one minor league option remaining, Clarke provides roster flexibility for the team. The cost of acquisition was minimal, and the Brewers have a track record of success with low-cost bullpen acquisitions. However, Clarke will need to show improvement and demonstrate something different to make an impact with the team.
