horrible timing with the packer game! will check back later to see what we get!

[craigharmann]

Just saw the tweet so I came here. Curious as to the return.

[brewmann04]

As per Ken Rosenthal tweet the rangers are close to acquiring Yo.

[hawing]

Bold timing, while most of Wisconsin is wrapped up in football. (But I'm not.)

[SRB]

Any guesses?

 

I'll go with LHP Robbie Ross + a low-minors prospect.

[brewmann04]

Young 3rd baseman and starter pitcher I guess

[jjgott]

Profar?

[mlloyd10]

I'll take profar

[Eye Black]

Really interested to see if they get Major League talent or prospects here. I would guess the latter.

[jwill535]

I will say a bench player/relief pitcher plus a couple AA players.

[SRB]

Profar?

 

One of the pundits already tweeted that Profar isn't in the deal, as if that was up in the air.

[narwhalattack]

Question: If the Brewers sign Shields at some point, do they lose a draft pick?

[pacopete4]

Profar not apart of the package I guess. Said we could be players for Scherzer or Shields.

[DHonks]

I'll take Princess, as he hasn't been happy since leaving Mke.

[jjgott]

Profar?

Ah must be Gallo + then...

[DHonks]

That'd be a fair trade to sign shields for a pick

[SRB]

I really, really do not want Shields. If they want to spend in that range they might as well go crazy and try for Scherzer, who is actually an elite pitcher.

[yoyomayoma]

Anyone know a good Rangers beat writer to follow to see who they're giving up?

[superfly]

Please God no Shields, I'd rather overpay for Scherzer. Really curious to find out what we're getting from Texas...can't even focus on the Packer game lol.

[superfly]

Shields is way too "old," isn't the same anymore...i'd rather overpay for Scherzer and eat it. Really having trouble focusing on the Packer game right now, just watch...i'd be just like him to sign Shields/Scherzer during this game too. FU Melvin!

I doubt this has anything to do with Shields or Sherzer. That's a made up rumor. The Brewers have some pitching depth for next year after which time Yo is a FA. Nelson is getting his chance. I can't wait to see the return. A utility infielder and good prospect would be worth trading for.

[nate82]

Profar is not part of the package of players coming to the Brewers.

 

My guess is Rua or Gonzalez.

[DHonks]

Wait, Polish you'd trade a top-25 starter for a backup IF and a guy that may never play in the majors?

[Raw Biz]

Gallo?
