Significant Acquisition Coming? Krasnick says "buzz" Brewers close to a trade

[jerichoholicninja]

I've said this before. Cleveland matches up very well. First of all, Stearns and Chernoff I believe relate very well to each other as BOTH are from the New Jersey/New York area. Their both from Jewish decent. Their both are similar in age. They both had a deal with Lucroy in place. They both come from Ivy league schools. Likes attract, and likes work well together.

 

Also, the Indians are very Lefty position player heavy. Domingo would fit in well. The Brewers need 2b and a starter. Salazar and Kipnis fit this bill well. Jose Ramirez can easily slide from 3rd to 2nd. This would also quantify why Machado was inquired upon by the Indians.

 

McKenzie and Mejia would also interest the Brewers as would Travis Shaw could interest the Indians.

 

We could also have a 3 way trade that may look like:

Indians receive: Manny Machado, Domingo Santana

Brewers receive: Jason Kipnis, Danny Salazar, Francisco Mejia

Orioles receive: Triston Mckenzie, Josh Pennington, Phil Bickford

 

That offer doesn't seem unreasonable for any team, very well thought out for a 3 team trade. Is that your speculation?

 

Seems light for the Orioles and very heavy towards the Brewers. I know it's only 1 year of Machado but he's a top 3 MLB player. However, the Orioles are idiots and have very little clue as to what they are doing.

[TURBO]

Our offense is already a question mark, remove Domingo, and I don't like where we are headed offensively in 2018. Kapris is an injury risk. Don't like the idea of adding him and subtracting Santana one bit.

It might not be completely even, but it's somewhat reasonable I think. Don't underestimate mckenzie, dude is as blue chip as it gets for a pitcher.

Perhaps the Orioles are taking Braun to balance it out...?

Please let this be the trade!!!!

[TURBO]

Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports that the Brewers are getting close to a trade.

 

The club has been shopping dynamic outfielder Domingo Santana this offseason, but have yet to find a potential match in any deal. The Brewers have a logjam of outfielders, so making a move prior to the start of spring training seems like an inevitability.

In a vacuum, I agree. However...

 

- It does seem like CLE would be giving up decent value in return for Machado & Santana. That would seem to be the first key.

- The first question is if that's a light return for Machado. I'd kind of think so unless McKenzie is CLE's A#1 prospect (which I didn't look up).

- Second question is if anyone would balk at the Brewers picking up that much for Santana and two SP prospects who didn't move the needle much last year.

 

If the Brewers threw just a little more of substance BAL's way...

[Eye Black]

FYI, I moved the Yu Darvish specific posts to the Yu Darvish specific thread started by Invader3K... LINK

[umpref]

I could see a bit of an upgrade on the P prospects we would give up. Not an upgrade on both, but maybe one of them

[TURBO]

Would Salazar mean the Darvish deal isn't happening? Could we be adding both?

 

Still hate the idea of trading Santana, one of our only offensive weapons...

[SRB]

That trade is highway robbery by the Brewers, not remotely realistic IMO.

[homer]

Darvish is a FA so yes, could be both in theory.

[Austin Tatious]

I like the setup of the three way trade too, but I suspect Milwaukee may have to concede more. Perhaps add Ray to the deal and swap out Bickford for Ortiz, with both going to Baltimore. That’s still a good deal and Baltimore gets a bit more.

[JosephC]

Brewers trade Santana, Pennington, Bickford away and get Mejia, Salazar and Kipnis in return? Yep, this one makes no sense.

[HighHeat19]

Just speculation my Brewer friends.

[clancyphile]

The significant acquisition could be the signing of Darvish...

Yes, I get that, but what happens if Nelson comes back all guns blazing? I just didn't figure they would be adding 2 starters to the mix, but I guess you can never have enough starting pitching. I also do not put a lot of weight in Nelson being the same pitcher he was last year.

[82brewcrew82]

"Multiple" trades that are separate from this one are in place as well. Trades will happen dependent upon this (A.) move and possibly other free agent moves. Multiple trades are already agreed upon, but only to happen if (A) happens.

 

How likely is A to NOT happen?

If it were not likely, would they go through the trouble of lining up multiple other moves based on that first move?

[HighHeat19]

The significant acquisition could be the signing of Darvish...

 

No. It is not.

[anglotiger]

No. It is not.

 

A shame, but hardly surprising...

[MrTPlush]

Why it could mean a trade and Darvish?

 

And to Clancy: It was reported a trade was getting serious/close. It was specific to a trade.

[superfly]

That trade is highway robbery by the Brewers, not remotely realistic IMO.

 

Been a trend when Stearns makes trades, have you forgotten? We already "had" Mejia once, so he is very high on our lists. I'm all ears for what HH is saying, it makes total sense on paper to me unlike the Ellsbury standalone rumor.

[TURBO]

Darvish

Salazar

Anderson

Davies

Chacin

 

(Nelson)

[pogokat]

it could still be, i think he's just clearly stating that the transaction that he has info about is not related to the darvish offer
