The Washington Nationals have traded outfielder Nyjer Morgan to the Milwaukee Brewers for cash considerations and minor league infielder Cutter Dykstra.
Morgan, 30, batted .253 for the Nationals last year and only had 24 RBIs. He did, however, manage to steal 34 bases.
Dykstra is the son of former 3-time All-Star Lenny Dyksra. Last year, he hit .312 with 39 RBIs and 27 steals while playing third base for Wisconsin's low Class A Midwest League.
Dykstra will most likely remain in the minor leagues, Ryan Zimmerman is the Nationals third baseman.
Morgan will be a reserve player in Milwaukee. After the trade, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said that Carlos Gomez's job at center field is not in jeopardy.
