MILWAUKEE - The Atlanta Braves have acquired infielder Orlando Arcia from the Milwaukee Brewers for right-handed pitchers Chad Sobotka and Patrick Weigel. Arcia had been the Brewers’ starting shortstop from 2018-20, but was expected to split time between shortstop and third base this year in more of a utility role. This move clears the way for Luis Urías to take over as the Brewers’ everyday shortstop. “The trade is a commitment to Luis Urías,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. These are two guys with big, power arms — very big people in general — and we think they’ll be able to help us through the course of the season.”Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
