What about a 3-team trade? Where the Brewers take on Verlander's contract and the Tigers take on Braun's contract. That would then bring in a nice haul as the Dodgers could just pick up Braun with no money added to their payroll and they could even subtract some by sending Puig to either the Brewers or the Tigers in this scenario. Trade someone like Phillips or Diplan to the Tigers for Verlander and get one or two of the prospects coming back that the Dodgers would give up for Braun. Maybe something like this works? Dodgers get Braun Tigers get Phillips/Diplan, Puig, and Lux Brewers get Verlander, Oneil Cruz and Caleb Ferguson Crazy trade that I don't think would even happen especially with the Brewers taking on all of Verlander and basically the Dodgers getting Braun for free (payroll wise) and the Tigers saving about $15m plus getting Puig, Phillips/Diplan and Lux in the deal.
