The Indians orchestrated a trade Tuesday, acquiring RHP Omar Aguilar from the Brewers for LHP Chuck Lofgren.

Milwaukee selected Lofgren in the Rule 5 Draft, and because he will not make the big-league roster, the Brewers had to compensate the Indians. They chose to trade Aguilar rather than return Lofgren to Cleveland.

Lofgren, 24, was a fourth-round pick of the Indians in the 2004 draft and was considered one of their top prospects for a spell. He went a combined 9-11 with a 4.15 ERA in 25 starts for Triple-A Columbus and Double-A Akron in 2009.

Aguilar, 25, is a reliever that went a combined 3-1 with a 4.72 ERA and 14 saves in 41 appearances last year for Double-A Huntsville and Class A Brevard County.
