Bickford was traded to the Brewers on Monday as part of the deal that sent Will Smith to the Giants, Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area reports.
Bickford, one of the Giants' top prospects and the 18th pick in the 2015 draft, has had a fantastic season, posting a 2.71 ERA with 105 strikeouts in 93 innings between Low-A and High-A. He'll now become the Brewers' top prospect. He pitched an inning in the Futures game for the USA team, striking out two batters. Andrew Susac was also acquired by the Brewers in the deal.
