Why on earth would we trade Ryan Braun...he's a former MVP who is being paid a very modest salary (one that this team can actually AFFORD without breaking our bank) and whose OBP, SLG, OPS, BA are all pretty well in line with his career norms & his K % is normal. Virtually nothing is different about Ryan Braun than pre-steroidgate. My goodness gracious, people are getting way too trade happy and need to sit back and enjoy the season. Why don't we unload every other player on the roster too while we're at it? I can see acquiring decent bench bats ala Chavez, maybe like a Garret Jones type, but other than 1B and a good version of Rickie Weeks continuing (doubtful), what exactly is the problem with this squad? Had Jose Abreu chosen us over the Sox I doubt we'd even be having 1/4 of the discussions we are today. Where is Wilson Betemit these days? I think he's a free agent or in AAA due to a knee injury last year...he'd be a cheap option that can play 3B, OF, or 1B and is a switch hitter (better on the left side... .8XX career OPS vs righties). He'd be good depth for us and he has some pop in his bat.
