Brewers In Serious Talks To Acquire Papelbon


You can trade someone 6 months after you signed them as a FA. That still leaves K-Rod as potential trade fodder in late August if the season is down the tubes at that point. Then Papelbon might (or might not) prove a possible option.

 

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but why would we trade for Papelbon in July/August if we were selling? Doesn't make much sense to me.

My point wasn't digging that deeply. In a vacuum, you could trade K-Rod in late August and then have his roster & salary space to add Papelbon. I'm not saying that it's logical, simply that it could happen.

Thank goodness we didn't trade anyone for him in hindsight. Losing prospects for a closer which we're unable to use in this young stage of the season would have been gut wrenching to know. Can we turn this season around? Possible, but for the fact that we're already 10 games under and looking forward to a trade deadline...knowing Papelbon isn't on this team makes me happy.
