Brewers Trade for Infielder Jonathan Ornelas
Listen to the story
The Milwaukee Brewers got a new infield player. His name is Jonathan Ornelas. People call him 'Johnny Rockets'.
The Brewers got Ornelas from the Oakland A's. This is called a trade. A trade is when two teams give players to each other.
Ornelas played his first big league game for the Brewers. Big league means the top level of baseball.
The Brewers also made a change. They put player Jihwan Bae on DFA. DFA means a team takes a player off its main list.
The Brewers wanted more infield players. Infield players play near first, second, and third base, and shortstop.
There is also news about Brice Turang. He is another Brewers infield player. But there are no new details yet.
