Jonathan Lucroy shares a message for Brewers fans after being traded
Jonathan Lucroy will finish the season with a new club after all.
After vetoing a trade to the Cleveland Indians over the weekend, the Milwaukee Brewers dealt their All-Star catcher to the Texas Rangers before the deadline on Monday, reportedly getting two of Texas' top prospects back in return -- outfielder Lewis Brinson and pitcher Luis Ortiz.
On his way out, Lucroy shared some kind words for Brewers fans.
Thank you @Brewers fans for everything!Nothing but love and respect from our family. You will always have a special place in our hearts!

He also had a message for his new club.
Now, moving on to the @Rangers let's take this bad boy to the 'ship! Really excited and can't wait to get after it!

Texas currently leads the Houston Astros by six games in the A.L. West. In addition to Lucroy, the Rangers also added Carlos Beltran to their lineup in a deal with the Yankees. Nice day for the team with the best record in the American League.
