The 26-year-old owns a career .658 OPS with 42 homers and 180 RBIs over six years with Milwaukee. His best season came in 2017 when he hit 15 round-trippers and recorded 14 stolen bases in 153 games.

Sobotka, 27, has posted a 5.36 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, and 61 strikeouts in 47 career innings over three seasons. The right-hander's 50 appearances have all come in relief.

Weigel has made just one major-league appearance. The 26-year-old right-handed reliever posted a 2.73 ERA, a 1.15 WHIP, and 71 strikeouts in 79 Double- and Triple-A innings in 2019.
