Lucroy Trades/Proposals (part 5: endgame)

[MrTPlush]

99.9% he was not in high five celebration. In the dugout? No one knows.

[3and2Fastball]

Indians checked in on Norris, hedging their bets re Lucroy

 

[markedman5]

Photographer at Miller Park now @hank_strunk tells me 3 mics are set up for #Brewers post. Counsell, Stearns & Lucroy perhaps? Just a guess

 

[remfire]

Schroeder just said on postgame that he walked through clubhouse and talked to Lucroy who said he hasn't heard anything. He is still a Brewer.

[pogokat]

this slowly killing anyone else?

[logan82]

this slowly killing anyone else?

Yes. The silence is horrible.

Yes. The silence is horrible.

 

I am amazed how quiet it has been since about 9 central

[pogokat]

maybe Luc like retired or something just to screw with everyone

[3and2Fastball]

Now they have to slowly unwrap the bubble wrap off of Lucroy for the night and put his wife in quarantine

Yup after trade to Braves Lucroy is hanging up the cleats.

[Noche]

Maybe he blocked the deal to CLE?

Screw that just make an air hole.

You realized he punched a wall, right?

[Boomer5]

The silence is fine. After the Mets scare, the silence is golden.

[logan82]

The Mets scare has not yet passed.

After she dropped the suitcase on his hand? Or before?

Great point...that rumored deal was disturbing

[superfly]

Feels like I am a 5 year old on Christmas night...there are glittery presents waiting but i'm not allowed to see them!

[pogokat]

Maybe he blocked the deal to CLE?

 

of all the things i hadn't thought of, this actually makes a lot of sense

Instead of dropping the suitcase.

[ewitkows]

Or he wanted to talk it over with his wife for the night

[brwrsfan]

I'd think if he did in fact block the trade, that would leak out relatively fast.

[Nader Raider Tim]

I've been wondering this. During the game I was thinking that maybe Lucroy was holding off on oking the deal until the end of the game so he could have one last game with his teamates. (not likely but dang if I can't get this trade out of my head)

 

I've also kind of thought that Lucroy might be trying to use his no trade to get the trading team to waive their ability to offer him arbitration after next season. Maybe Cle wouldn't do that and he rejected.

 

Although the most likely option is that there never was a deal worked out and talks are still ongoing. Would like to get this out of the way so Stearns can spend the next day and a half working on trading some of the Brewers other assets. Lucroy has to get traded so I would hope almost all of steans time should be spent on trading him. Once that is out of the way he can move on to Guerra or the relievers or Carter or Scooter or Braun or Nelson or Gar...hahaha..za.

[3and2Fastball]

Sure would be nice if there was someone in the Milwaukee media who was a hard-hitting journalist who could at least give us some sort of update.

[splitterpfj]

When the Brewers trotted out the whole bullpen in the game tonight, I figured the deal was not yet in place. That may not be accurate, but most of the rumors tie a bullpen arm into a Lucroy trade, and Counsell ran four of them out there without hesitation.

 

If the deal is done, and if a reliever is in it, why rest Lucroy, but then use the pitcher?

 

I believe no trade is in place yet, but I obviously think it's close.
