I'd bet neither one of those happen. Probably not— would the nats trade Robles? That's the thought process.

And the Braves, White Sox, Padres and Nationals are the reason it's not 100%. With the Braves being the biggest threat. Plus I know the Brewers offer. And no I'm not telling anyone here or even giving the SLIGHTEST hints. That gets some people in trouble if you know what I mean. Be ready though...... It's gonna sting a little bit.

You gave a % of the initial trade. What do you think about this one? Honestly, 95%. That's strong. Yes it is.

Does he think we have a good shot at getting Yelich? Yes. You gave a % of the initial trade. What do you think about this one? Honestly, 95%.

Thank god! Does he think we have a good shot at getting Yelich? Yes.

My source says Hader is literally untouchable in ALL trade talks.

You missed the best response, "if you make that offer, you'll hear an instant click on the other end." Apparently GM's hang up on each other constantly... Ah let's be honest, they're all texting each other these days. Their actually faxing so they can send butt pictures instead of hanging up.

Not sure if it will be for a starter. Multiple moves = YES!!! I saw awhile back we were interested in Oh, have you heard anything on that? Zilch

Not sure if it will be for a starter. Multiple moves = YES!!!

In other words, I'm guessing the Marlins are saying. "We got a damn good offer in place" What do you guys out there have to beat it."

Insider "rumor" has it that Marlins are requesting final offers from other teams in regards to Yelich. As in other teams “not including the Brewers”, or other teams “including the Brewers”? Non Brewer teams.

About time!!! Klement's brats were horrible. I heard out of staters that tried a brat at the ballpark always say "These are nothing special" or "this brat thing is terrible". It was actually embarrassing being a Wisconsinite. Johnsonville brats are king! And should be the new sponsor. And in no way am I affiliated with Johnsonville.

Braun will not be moved.

Darvish to Cubs.

More belief it was Ellsbury for A. And now Yelich. This would tell me that an outfielder is going somewhere. Prolly Santana. If Yelich falls through. Then maybe Cain. Once a centerfielder is obtained. Santana or Brinson would be on their way. Brewers want to make sure they have their CF before than move to the next phase. All speculation on my part here.

No. This is news to me. But not surprising as my source said they were changing directions after A. was nixed.

My personal own belief was also the Yankees. And the Brewers were willing to eat Ellsbury's contract for either Torres or Abreu. My speculation, not fact.

Trade A has been nixed. The other club wanted the Brewers to eat more contract of the other team's player. Brewers then asked for a higher prospect. Other team said no. Trade has been put on hold but not abolished. Brewers turning to a different direction. Don't know if that means trade or free agency. That's all I know. Anything else is speculation.

If we are focused on getting Mejia along with Kipnis and Salazar, why not add one of our highly touted prospects not named Burnes or Brinson. What about selling high on Monte? I would absolutely add him if it got us over the hump for Mejia. OF will continue to be stacked and our catcher position is filled for the near future. I would agree.

I was not aware of that. Sporttrac dod not mention that. Thanks for clearing that up.

A trade with Cleveland would have to include Mejia or McKenzie. You have only one more year of Salazar at a modest 5 mil. Who is coming off a so/so injured year. It makes no sense from the Brewer's perspective to give up much for a 1 year rental when your still rebuilding. Kipnis is negative value for the Indians right now.He is north of 30. As I said before the Indians are extremely lefty heavy position player wise. Kipnis is a lefty. This would allow Cleveland to get another righty in their lineup at 2nd. Cleveland is also small market and Kipnis salary at $13 mil this year plus 14 mil next year is huge hindrance for Cleveland. And may cripple their chance of picking up a July 31st acquisition because of his salary. Also coming off an injured year and less than stellar production. If anything, Kipnis is more of a buy a good prospect for eating Kipnis contract type acquisition. I'm sorry but both players do not equal to one of Domingo Santana. Mejia would be the choice to complete the deal. I would believe that the Indians would want to keep McKenzie at all costs as he would be a great trade chip to add that nice above average starter at the trade deadline. I don't believe Mejia would have the value that McKenzie does come July 31st. Santana's righty bat and superior health history have to be high on Cleveland's target list. Edwin Encarnicion has also been highly injury prone the last few years (Back Spasms)(And one of the few righty's). EE goes down again and you can literally spot start Lefty's as well as schedule Lefty's against Cleveland and it's going to come back and bite cleveland something fierce. And Cleveland doesn't have the $ to bring in JD Martinez even without Kipnis contract. Santana has to be very enticing right now to Cleveland. Long story short: Salazar, Kipnis and Mejia = Domingo Santana and free's up $ for Cleveland to pick up a trade deadline starter. Can't get rid of Kipnis. Then Cleveland may have an injury risk at second and may not be able to afford that Verlander like the Astro's did last year. And be way too Lefty heavy in the lineup. So Salazar, Kipnis and Mejia for Santana and a player like Grisham is very reasonable. Especially, because Brantley has been injury prone and up there in age for the Indians as well. Actually, Grisham seems to be a poor mans Michael Brantley. My 2 cents.

I think Ellsbury would be legit too. *Assuming "need" is not the primary motivating factor. There's a few more than just those guys. Donaldson, Beltre, Gardner, come to mind as well.

Contractual issues can also mean who's paying what percentage of an overpaid veterans salary.

No
