Here\u2019s what people were saying about the deal:<\/p>\n

@BaseUnstitched:<\/a> \u201cLuis Matos is headed to Milwaukee after being DFA\u2019d by the Giants<\/a> last week 2025 184 PA .221\/.266\/.424 91 wRC+ .274 xwOBA Can the Brewers find some more magic<\/a> to make Matos a worthwhile future 4th outfielder?\u201d<\/p>\n

@JocPSC:<\/a> \u201cNow Luis Matos and Kyle Harrison<\/a> are in Milwaukee, 2 of the prospects which is why I started following the Giants<\/a>. A small part of me supports the Brewers.\u201d<\/p>\n

@GiantHotTakes:<\/a> \u201cLuis Matos will always mean a lot to me. I cannot wait to see him excel in Milwaukee. So long old friend @LuisMatoss24 \u2764\ufe0f\u201d<\/p>\n

@JohnSheaHey<\/a>: \u201cThus ends Luis Matos\u2019 time in Giants organization. Some fans thought he should have been given longer opportunities. Some thought Giants should have moved on before now. Best news is he has fresh start with Brewers. Also: Dylan Smith<\/a> acquired from Tigers, Tyler Fitzgerald<\/a> DFA\u2019d.\u201d<\/p>\n

@gggiants:<\/a> \u201cI had hoped Fitzgerald would turn into a contributor, even as a utility guy. Hope Matos does well in Milwaukee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the Padres, the Giants will return to San Francisco and host the New York Mets<\/a> with the series starting on April 2.<\/p>\n

They are coming off a season where they missed the MLB playoffs.<\/p>\n
