Plush, is it possible that Stearns sees value in Braun and knows he is still a productive player at a 'reasonable' cost? In my eyes, Braun is still productive and thus has value. Also, has there actually been anything written or said by someone within or close to the organization that said they hoped to trade Braun? I havent seen anything besides talking heads saying they should look to unload him because they are rebuilding. Thanks.
