I'm stunned. Taser or found out wife's pregnant?

Can you expound at all by chance? If not, certainly understand. All I received was "Darvish will not be a Brewer" So I posted Darvish will NOT be a Brewer. Nothing more, nothing less.

Darvish will NOT be a Brewer.

Darvish will NOT be a Brewer.

No

Nope, knew none of those guys. Only guy I wonder whatever happened too was Freeway who presided in the bleachers of old County Stadium. Talking to Freeway was like talking to an imaginary friend. Except Freeway was real...... but I'm not sure if Freeway thought he was real himself. Hey, but that was Freeway.

My source says the Brewers are pushing hard to get Darvish. As in make your mind up soon or were going elsewhere.

Ok awesome, thanks! How likely do you think it is to happen? Personally??? 80% chance. If not done by Saturday, 20%.

Is trade A the trade that may not happen until Wednesday or Thursday? Yes.

Trade A. Has to happen first. Then other trades which have been pre negotiated are set. It doesn't mean the other trades will be enacted. The purpose of the pre negotiated trades is to have power over the Agents. When you trade a player you have a hole. This hole has to be filled. The agent knows it and drives the price up. Simple supply and demand as well as playing hardball by the agent. The Brewers apparently have been putting multiple semi agreed upon trades in place since November and are playing their own hardball. This is to give the power back to Stearns. The Brewers have literally set up enough scenarios with multiple teams to fill any position deemed necessary to fill the void of the big trade. Apparently letting agents know that your free agent maybe of interest, but your going to play our game and not yours cause we have another avenue. So trade (A.) may lead to trade (B.) but if the Brewers lose another position cause trade (A.) requires for argument's sake Shaw. Then pre negotiated trade (R.) will be enacted from another team. If trade (R.) causes the Brewers to suddenly have a need at let's say 1st base. Then pre negotiated trade (Z) would be enacted. There is still a possibility of a free agent also filling the void instead of a trade if the Brewer's can get a FA at THEIR price. It's all very fluid and dynamic with many moving parts. But as you can see, it's (A.) that get's the ball going. And Darvish is NOT (A.) Hence the reason it seemed like Stearns has been calling on EVERYBODY, the past 2 months! It's currently the calm before the storm. The Brewers are also double checking their other trades so when the storm hits, they can act quickly because things can get moving fast.

No. I said Darvish is in sitdown mode with his "people". Not the Brewers. This is how stuff spirals out of control.

No, there's a ton more to it than that. It's like a job interview except form the employee's end. Stuff like: What is the projected revenue from the Brewer's in the next 5 years and exactly how much did the Brewer's make and how much can they make. In other words, can the Brewer's spend at future deadlines if needed to push. What are the Brewer's philosophy on hitting, pitching and the game itself? What are Brewer's Front office tendencies? Is there a vibrant Asian community in Milwaukee? Etc, etc....

Yu's "people" are in sit down mode and currently determining the Brewer's direction as an organization. In other words are the Brewer's ready to compete at the highest level. Offer seems to be acceptable. However, does he want to play for Milwaukee, are they going to win extensively and does he want to call it home.

Are you wetbutt23? Lol!!! No.

Trade may not happen till Wednesday or even Thursday. Contract issues. Can you tell us who's involved? No, I only know that it's with an American League team. And Braun is not involved.

Braun not going anywhere. Per my source.

Trade may not happen till Wednesday or even Thursday. Contract issues.

Let me repeat. This was speculation. Not rumor or even insight.

No. It is not.

Just speculation my Brewer friends.

That offer doesn't seem unreasonable for any team, very well thought out for a 3 team trade. Is that your speculation?

I've said this before. Cleveland matches up very well. First of all, Stearns and Chernoff I believe relate very well to each other as BOTH are from the New Jersey/New York area. Their both from Jewish decent. Their both are similar in age. They both had a deal with Lucroy in place. They both come from Ivy league schools. Likes attract, and likes work well together. Also, the Indians are very Lefty position player heavy. Domingo would fit in well. The Brewers need 2b and a starter. Salazar and Kipnis fit this bill well. Jose Ramirez can easily slide from 3rd to 2nd. This would also quantify why Machado was inquired upon by the Indians. McKenzie and Mejia would also interest the Brewers as would Travis Shaw could interest the Indians. We could also have a 3 way trade that may look like: Indians receive: Manny Machado, Domingo Santana Brewers receive: Jason Kipnis, Danny Salazar, Francisco Mejia Orioles receive: Triston Mckenzie, Josh Pennington, Phil Bickford

Seems like I maybe know something. Not a lot according to my wife though.

Translated it means "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these."

"Multiple" trades that are separate from this one are in place as well. Trades will happen dependent upon this (A.) move and possibly other free agent moves. Multiple trades are already agreed upon, but only to happen if (A) happens.
