The Brewers are one of the lowest-ranking teams in MLB when it comes to cash, especially now with the new huge TV deals. Imo cash also would be very unlikely to sway Jack Z. in this case, and on top of that the Brewers have near the least possible amount to offer. Even if you see the M's extending Gomez & Hart, that's not what SEA would be trading for -- they'd be merely trading for one season. Would you trade me a $10 bill for a $5 bill if I told you that you could possibly take that $5 to the casino & turn it into $50? If you're talking about including Lucroy, then I think you might have a jumping-off point to start to get the M's to listen... but, personally, I really don't want to trade Luc for just two seasons of Hernández -- we took the short-term path with Greinke & wound up in the current state of affairs. I just think you're viewing this possible negotiation through very Brewers-friendly glasses.
