Brewers execute rare post-trade deadline deal for Athletics' infielder

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired infielder Jonathan Ornelas from the Oakland Athletics for cash considerations, executing a rare post-deadline trade by targeting a minor league player not on the A's 40-man roster. Ornelas had been designated for assignment by Oakland last week, rejected an outright assignment, and re-signed on a minor league deal before being traded to Milwaukee. The 26-year-old has struggled in the majors with a .200 batting average across 38 games but excelled in Triple-A this season with a .310 average and 11 home runs in 81 games. The Brewers designated Jihwan Bae for assignment to make room for Ornelas, who provides infield depth while Cooper Pratt recovers from injury.
