**Brewers Acquire Left-Hander Dallas Keuchel from Mariners for Cash**
MILWAUKEE — Dallas Keuchel is confident he still has much to contribute to a major league team. The Milwaukee Brewers are banking on the 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner to enhance their injury-plagued pitching staff after he made his way back into the majors. They acquired Keuchel from the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday for a nominal price of $1.
“I’ve dealt with some injuries and performance issues,” the 36-year-old left-hander said Tuesday night. “But I knew deep down I still had a couple of years left.”
This season, Keuchel has posted a 7-4 record with a 3.93 ERA in 13 starts for the Mariners’ Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma. His last major league stint was with the Minnesota Twins in 2023, where he went 2-1 with a 5.97 ERA in 10 appearances.
“The fact that he still wants to play and contribute after all he’s achieved sends a strong message,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “He’s a ballplayer.”
Keuchel has a career record of 103-92 with a 4.02 ERA and two All-Star appearances in 2015 and 2017. He had an outstanding season in 2015, going 20-8 with a 2.43 ERA with the Houston Astros to win the Cy Young Award. However, his performance has declined in recent years, as he struggled with multiple teams in 2022 and spent last season with the Twins.
