D-Backs acquire Sexson from Milwaukee.

The Milwaukee Brewers reportedly have completed the trade many were expecting them to make this weekend. Sexson's contract expires at the end of the upcoming 2004 season. The Brewers saw him as their most valuable commodity now that the team payroll has been scaled back, and attention refocused on the team's farm system.

Sexson participated in the 2002 All Star Game at Miller Park, and donated his royalties from the Home Run Derby to the Wisconsin Humane Society. He was an All Star again in 2003, and started in every game this past season. Good luck in Arizona, Richie. Prince Fielder will have some (literally) big shoes to fill when he eventually comes up from the minors.
