Brewers eating the whole salary>? and he wont get to close
Boras wont allow that

 

[Kevbo]

Hope he can play shortstop..

Is he okay with Not being a closer? I'm an Axford fan, but I certainly love the bullpen help

 

[DRav87]

Any source for this?

Just confirmed on MLB network....

 

[ajbraves25]

As a baseball fan I don't quite understand it, but as a Braves fan I love it. I thought he wanted to stay as a closer and having a decent season, but so is Axford. That should sure up the bullpen no doubt. About all Milwaukee needed besides a SS. Just put the NL Central on notice. MLB Network is talking about it right now.

Brewers get cash also- nervous about what they gave up for him.


Now lets get Furcal or JJ Hardy back!

 

[craiger122003]

on mlbtraderumors as well

I wonder if Thornburg would be a guy in the deal.

Idk if he is eligible yet, but he might. That means I shouldn't have sold my Emerald Status auto a while ago :[

 

[gonzagacubs]

ESPN is reporting it as well.

I believe he was due some sort of bonus if he closed out 55 games this year with the Mets.

@SI_JonHeyman Guarantee you the 2 PTBNL's are Tyler Thornburg and Hunter Morris.

Unless I'm missing something, he didn't post that.

 

[superwhat]

Hunter Morris...please!!!

 

[uwotitan29]

As a Brewer fan I appreciate the aggressive approach Doug Melvin has taken to improve the team. Just need a capable SS who has a little bit of range and it should be an interesting NL Central race in the 2nd half! Go Crew!!!!

No problem. I'll add that speculation seems to be that the PTBNL are nowhere near the caliber of Thornburg.
