6 years agoNationals starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday. Gonzalez had passed through waivers unclaimed and was made eligible to trade before Friday's midnight deadline. The Brewers had been searching for an extra starter for the past month or so and will look to have Gonzalez replace Junior Guerra in the rotation. Guerra has struggled over the past few months in Milwaukee, with four of his last eight starts resulting in five or more earned runs. As for fantasy purposes, Gonzalez's next start could come as soon as Sunday in Washington. He has struggled plenty this season and will be a risky starter going forward. There is some upside given his new surroundings and improved fielding defense but a wait-and-see approach might be best even in the midst of the playoffs.--Kev Mahserejian - RotoBaller
