Way to sell low Milwaukee...

At least the contract is gone: Brewers Trade John Axford To St. Louis | Disciples of Uecker

Looks like Moleliak is up to his old tricks again after finding Mujica off the scrap heap last year.Freeman up, Blazek and Wacha back down.

The Cardinals farm system is deep, I'm sure Melvin did just fine.

I thought a PTBNL transaction had to be cross league. Guess not.

I believe that a minor leaguer as a PTBNL counts as "cross league", which makes sense since most PTBNLs are minor league players.

Really?All they got for him was Blazek.He's nothing more than a career middle reliever.

Yikes, wasn't expecting that at all. That's terrible.
