Guillermo Mota finds a home.

Isn’t it just great how baseball feels like the Kevin Bacon game? I mean, even today, players like Guillermo Mota and Marco Estrada are related, in a way, to Johnny Estrada. Now this may be the most valuable thing that Johnny Estrada has ever contributed to the Milwaukee Brewers, but that is beside the point. When before the 2008 season, Mota was acquired from the New York Mets, it reeked of a trash for trash, equal salary trade. While the Mets non-tendered that cancer Estrada later that offseason, Mota found a home in the Brewers bullpen. That season, I admittedly booed him at Miller Park in a Ben Sheets start that he blew right in the middle of his 2 week long slump. He came around to have a huge September which helped the Brewers clinch their first playoff appearance in 26 years. Best of luck to Guillermo.
