The Milwaukee Brewers and Pittsburgh Pirates are two of the teams featured in the August 6 edition of MLB Immaculate Grid. Fans aiming for a perfect score will need to name one player who has played for both clubs.
There’s been plenty of crossover between the two sides. In total, 98 players have donned both uniforms. The first name that comes to mind is Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen. The 2013 NL MVP has represented several MLB franchises in his decorated career, including the Brewers, who McCutchen played for last season.
With the trade deadline still fresh in mind, two more names float easily. Carlos Santana joined the Pirates only last offseason, but the first baseman was traded to the Brewers on July 27 in exchange for minor league shortstop Jhonny Severino.
Ji-man Choi, also having joined last offseason, joined Santana on the way out. The Pirates traded Choi to the San Diego Padres on August 1. The South Korean first baseman spent the first half of the 2018 season with the Brewers.
And of course, you cannot forget Daniel Vogelbach. The Mets superstar spent a couple of seasons (2020-21) with the Brewers and a few months with the Pirates in 2022 before moving to Queens.
