Rumor: Is Something A-Brewin’?
So a friend reached out early Tuesday and told me that there would likely be transactions over the next handful of days. It was said that the A’s, Braves, Blue Jays and Brewers were all set to be active.
I asked for details, such as whether the teams would be involved in trades together. Details were declined.
I didn’t share because details are important. Then on Wednesday the Braves traded Evan Gattis to the Astros and the A’s traded Yunel Escobar to the Nationals and my curiosity was certainly piqued.
I pressed for anything else specific to the Brewers and was told to be patient. Well…I’ll do my best. Now you can be impatient with me.

Noooo!!! Who needs trading???
Didn’t necessarily say trade, but wouldn’t rule it out.
Dang it! You are a jerk! Now I’ll be sitting here all day thinking about moves they could potentially make! I would think an Allen Craig move could still be in play, or perhaps we are looking to trade off a guy like Yo or Kyle Lohse (which I think is highly unlikely due to our commitment to put core in the last three years). Could it be a move for Cole Hamels? We have a couple of intriguing prospects in the minors like 3B Lara, and a decent amount of pitchers, but I doubt that were looking to break the bank on him. My last theory could be a K-Rod signing. We need our closer back, and from reports from a writer on B/R, he wants to stay in Milwaukee. What moves do you see The Crew potentially going after?
K-Rod said in September that he wants to play in Milwaukee if they’d have him back but understands the nature of the business.
