Is Braun untradeable?

[jerichoholicninja]

Braun has played 140+ games 6 of his 9 seasons. One of those being his rookie year and another his suspension. Tulo has only done that 3 times out of 10 in his career. Ryan's got health issues but he's been on the field way more that Tulo has. Heck, Toronto might be a spot for Braun next year as I doubt they resign both Bautista and Encarnacion.

Before he didn't have a chronic thumb or back so his health early in his career means nothing. While he has played 135 and 140 games the last two years respectively he played a large handful of other games injured to the point it was painful to watch. He might as well have been not playing at that point. It is also a mystery how these injuries are going to play out as he gets older which is probably on team's minds too. Probably also doesn't really help he hasn't played since his back surgery too.

 

Clearly there are pretty big concerns regarding his health or else we would have seen him traded for something notable by now. That is going off the rumors that the Brewers are more than willing to trade him and the rumor that no one is willing to give up anything outside of taking on his contract.

I will like to keep him in a brewer uniform.
