GOODYEAR, Ariz. — The Cleveland Indians have acquired right-hander Omar Aguilar from the Milwaukee Brewers.
In return for the 25-year-old, the Brewers are keeping left-hander Chuck Lofgren. Milwaukee selected him in the Rule 5 Draft in December.
To send Lofgren to their minor-league system, the Brewers had to work out a deal with Cleveland or offer him back to the Indians for half the US$50,000 they paid in the draft.
The 24-year-old Lofgren went a combined 9-11 with a 4.15 ERA between double-A Akron and triple-A Columbus in the Indians’ system in 2009.
Aguilar split 2009 between single-A Brevard County and double-A Huntsville. He went 3-1 with a 4.72 ERA and 14 saves. He will report to the Indians’ minor-league camp.
