It appeared Stearns bailed. If you are trying to win in October you don't trade away Hader unless winning a WS isn't the ultimate goal. I get the feeling management is satisfied with being the team competitive just enough to put butts in the seats.
You can't compare the Packers and the Brewers. They are in vastly different situations financially. And the NFL playoffs you win or go home whereas in MLB you play a series so if you lay an egg in the first game you aren't done.
