MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Brewers have acquired right-handed starter Dustin May and left-handed reliever JoJo Romero from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for outfielders Alexander Frías and Josiah Ragsdale.

The Milwaukee Brewers are adding to their rotation, bringing in Dustin May and more from the St. Louis Cardinals.
