If the Tigers came to the Brewers and emphasized how they wanted a good, controllable starting pitcher back as a part of a package….and we sent back a package of 3 top hitters (Made, Fish, and Frias), I can understand why the Brewers were not taken seriously, even though we say that package is way better than the Dodgers.
It could all be that the Tigers wanted Henderson and when the Brewers said no, then there was no use to go forward with this.
It would be great to hear the real story of this all, but no way did the Brewers think this deal was going down two days before the deadline….feels like the Brewers were ready to dance around with the Tigers a bit with prospect packages and the Tigers weren’t, possibly because of Skub’s desire to go to the Dodgers and the Dodgers willingness to give them guys asked for initially.
