I can't see Made in Milwaukee unless he's played enough 3B to confirm he can handle it. Most logically that would be at AAA because of Fischer holding 3B down in AA. Also, the contract negotiations would be affected if he were moved off SS especially since Boras is his agent.

Waiting in their fallout shelter.

MLB players should be pissed! So let them take charge of their union! At $167 million the Dodgers pay more "Competetive Balance Tax" than the Brewers' and some others payroll.

Quero has no substantial trade value after shoulder surgery and now a biceps injury. His high value will be regained only if and when his arm is demonstrably recovered. Sad but most likely true.

Insurance at catcher a smart move. Quero's injury is reportedly his bicep, not the shoulder. Hardly a needle mover but I like the trade. I've always liked Cleveland so I hope it works out both ways.

Make Tigers take Yelich.

Looks to me like Quero is destined for 1B as long as he can continue hitting. But there is too much competition in this system there right now and in the near future. Sad . . .

Sit Yelich for a series and see if that helps.

Trade Lockridge if KC agrees for FA-to-be Lane Thomas.

I'd stay away from Peralta who has been damaged by the narrowed ABS strike zone so that some of his high fastballs have become balls that used to be called strikes. This depreciates the other pitches he throws.

I have the same reservations about including Henderson in a trade for Skubal. If they did I wouldn't include either Adamczewski or Moneys but rather something like Brett Wichrowski and Handelfry Encarnacion.

Robbie Ray would give the Brewers the best long term track record of this group and the experience they need for playoffs with Woodruff out of the picture. To start I offer Wichrowski and Kuehner and go from there.

If I were the Tigers I would expect several elite major league ready prospects for Skubal. I would not give that to them if I were the Brewers (and I had them).

Give him a merciful DFA. He could rebound someday, somewhere, but this is the best option for him.
