2Brewers get Justin Foscue as a plug and play infielder with plus hit and plus plate discipline, Zeke Duran as a 2B/SS/3B/RF/LF who has plus hit and power and questionable plate discipline, Walcott as a ludicrous ceiling SS prospect with plus to plus-plus tools across the board, and Josh Stephan who is a BORP prospect. Rangers get a true top of the rotation starter in Burnes, a true back end relief arm in Williams, take on Christian Yelich's contract + $30 mil, and a middle reliever in Megill. Rangers take on the remaining 5/130 mil contract for Yelich, minus 30 mil, so it turns into a 5/100 contract.
This is just bad in so many ways for the Brewers. They want pitching, not position players in a trade like this. Milwaukee loses the top starter still available, the NL reliever of the year, and a very good late innings reliever and the only pitcher they get in return is just above a lottery ticket. The Brewers don't want teenagers as part of any deal. Milwaukee never includes that kind of cash in trades.
