Ramirez to Pittsburgh for Yhonathan Barrios; Goforth recalled

[trwi7]

 

Hearing Aramis Ramirez is going to Pittsburgh. If someone else had this before me, blame my kids. But it's happening.

[Warning Track Power]

What is a realistic return that we could anticipate?

[MrTPlush]

If true I am going to miss him. True Professional...

[brewmann04]

yes was just going to post well he end his career where it all started. Guess we rather help the Bucs instead of the Cards

@BrinkPG: Sources: Pirates and Brewers nearing agreement on a trade that would send 3B Aramis Ramirez to Pittsburgh.

[trwi7]

Post-Gazette in Pittsburgh saying the same thing.

I'm guessing that the Brewers are gonna get more out of Pittsburgh than they would from other teams considering that it's an in-division trade.

Or taking the first offer before he pulls a hammy. I don't think the whole intra division thing means anything here. He is retiring after the season so not like there is fear he will hurt us in the future.

Guessing Dominguez plays 3rd now... Doesn't hurt to see what he can do.

[FVBrewerFan]

I'm guessing a pair of Willie Stargell's old batting gloves and a rosin bag to be named later. Anything more and I'll be thrilled.

Agreed that would be my preference.

[fondybrewfan]

If we get anything more than a little salary relief or a minor league reliever I will be surprised. But Aram has been pretty darn good the last month or so.

Honestly...if we are rebuilding, why not try to acquire Pedro Alvarez as a stopgap for 1B or 3B for 2016? Sure, maybe an A level prospect might be better but would Alvarez bring any value to the club in the short term?

Hernan Perez deserves first shot based on a .840 OPS as a Brewers. Would expect Herrera to fill his spot as utility player.

called this last week

 

really happy for him if this happens, would be a great way to end his career

HE IS SO BAD IS WHY!!!!!!!!! He's a younger Mark Reynolds with 1/3rd of the fielding ability.

I'll be very disappointed if that isn't the case. Not expecting a Top 100 Prospect of course, but this shouldn't just be a throwaway deal, the Brewers should get at least a prospect with realistic MLB bullpen potential in return

Salary relief is the biggest thing. To get anything of value back in a player, Brewers would have to pay some of that remaining contract.

Why? He's old and very overpaid. Maybe if we picked up nearly penny he's being paid we'll get a marginal prospect.

[Manty Brewer Fan]

Probably having too strong of a season, but I always wanted to see Harold Ramirez in a brewers uniform.

[CheezWizHed]

I'll take their competitive balance draft pick!

@AdamMcCalvy: One source says #Brewers get RHP Yhonathan Barrios from the Bucs in the Ramirez deal. Club hasn't confirmed. Details will be at the site.
