May 1965- addendum
On May 9th the Brewers made the first trade of the franchise's history, sending young minor league infielder Arturo Baca to the San Francisco Velocity for minor league starting pitcher Jon Goldman and minor league relief pitcher Jim Harrison. Not a blockbuster trade to be sure, but one that the Brewers may eventually regret. With a budding star Tanner Yurek at second base and several good middle infield prospects in the pipeline, and with an aging starting staff and not much promise on the horizon in the organization at that position, it was thought a risk worth taking. At this point it doesn't look like a great decision, but the organization is hopeful that it might still work out alright in the end.
