The San Francisco Giants have traded veteran second baseman Ray Durham to the Milwaukee Brewers for two minor leaguers.

Durham, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, has been rumored to be on the move for weeks and with current starter Rickie Weeks batting just .218, the Brewers were desperate for an upgrade. Durham is batting .293 with an on base percentage of .385.

The Brewers have stated that Weeks will remain the starter but I can't imagine them sticking with someone barely batting over the Mendoza line for long while they're in the midst of a pennant race.

The two prospects the Giants received are reportedly "left-hander Steve Hammond and outfielder Darren Ford."
