The Texas Rangers have acquired catcher Jonathan Lucroy from the Milwaukee Brewers.
The deal was finalized just minutes before the trade deadline.
In return for Lucroy, the Brewers receive outfielder Lewis Brinson and right-handed pitcher Luis Ortiz.
Now, moving on to the @Rangers let's take this bad boy to the 'ship! Really excited and can't wait to get after it!
