“(I was) surprised because you never know what’s going to happen you. You hear a lot of rumblings and things, and like I’ve said before, there’s no reason to get worked up about anything until something happens, but then also excited,” he said.

“Getting a chance to go to a team that has a possibility to get into the playoffs and go deep — I know they’ve been playing very well from the things I’ve been seeing, they’ve also made some other moves — so super excited to join them.”

Orimoloye, 21, hit five home runs and 23 RBIs with a .260 average in 61 games with the Brewers’ Class-A affiliate in Wisconsin, as well as seven home runs and 32 RBIs with a .237 average across 65 games with the Class A-Advanced Carolina Mudcats this season.

The six-foot-four, 225-pound outfielder was born in Lagos, Nigeria before moving to Orleans, Ont. He’s a graduate of the Canadian National Junior Baseball program.
