Brewers Traded Him For Christian Yelich — And Now He Plays CFB For Arkansas

The Milwaukee Brewers are celebrating their first World Series title ever. One of their former top prospects, a player who helped them land their captain Christian Yelich, is preparing to play college football in the SEC on Saturday. It’s one of the oddest dichotomies in sports, and while it’s not at all a secret, it’s worth revisiting. Monte Harrison was in the 2018 Yelich trade with the Miami Marlins. He’s now playing for the Arkansas Razorbacks on the gridiron in 2026. This weekend Mizzou football will face one of the trade chips Milwaukee sent to Miami for Christian Yelich.
