Trade Details
CUBS BRING IN BRANDON KINTZLER Tuesday, July 31, 2018
The Chicago Cubs acquired pitcher Brandon Kintzler from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Jhon Romero.
What does it give the Chicago Cubs?
In Kintzler, the Cubs add a solid, veteran right-hander who will probably be used in a setup role in Chicago.
What does it give the Washington Nationals?
Romero is a reliever as well, albeit one a few years away from reaching MLB. The Nationals are tweaking, not fully selling here.
Fantasy Impact
Kintzler should be a solid source of holds down the stretch, while Romero is a few years away from entering the fantasy radar.
