Brewers Acquire Yorvit Torrealba

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | September 21, 2012 at 2:07pm CDT

The Brewers have acquired catcher Yorvit Torrealba from the Blue Jays for a player to be named later or cash considerations, the teams announced. Torrealba will be in uniform for Milwaukee tomorrow.

Torrealba appeared in ten games for the Blue Jays after they signed him to a minor league deal last month. J.P. Arencibia has since returned from the disabled list, lessening the Blue Jays' need for catching. Torrealba last appeared in a game on September 15th.

In 212 total plate appearances with the Rangers and Blue Jays this year Torrealba has a .233/.297/.339 batting line. The Brewers will pay the 34-year-old a pro-rated portion of the MLB minimum salary until he hits free agency at the end of the season. He joins catchers Jonathan Lucroy and Martin Maldonado on Milwaukee's active roster.

    I’m a little confused why they want him.

    Play Maldonado at first and use Yorvit as the backup catcher if Corey can’t play?

    You’re not going to play Maldonado out of position when you have Ishikawa who is a above average defensive first baseman….

      I wouldn’t be surprised to see Maldonado starting at 1B tomorrow against Gio – lefty righty matchups. Otherwise, if he doesn’t start at all, then Maldonado is the best right-handed hitter coming off the bench.

    This is about all your gonna see from the Jays for a while. The return will basically be nothing.

    Sounds like Corey Hart’s balky foot is going to be an issue the rest of the year. There should be some platoon at bats at first base for Maldonado, at which time Torrealba will serve as the back up catcher.

    I’ll be the one to read into this a little further and go out on a limb I guess. I kind of wonder if the Brewers are looking at Torrealba and calling this a “try out” of sorts. The Brewers have two very good young catchers who are under team control for the next what… 5/6 years each? I can’t imagine a scenerio in which they keep Maldanado to sit on the bench when they know they can probably get a decent return for trading him. He wont pull a top arm but a starting rotation type guy…maybe? The Brewers are going to make a serious run in 2013 it looks like so why not make a move in the off season that will improve this team?

      If the Brewers were to trade Maldonado, I’m sure the Mets would have interest. We have plenty of the filler/back end SP that would likely match up in a deal.

    Why would they do this. Makes ZERO sense.
