NOW THE BREWERS ARE INTERESTED IN SONNY GRAY


Every day it's a new team with new interest for Sonny Gray and then nothing happens. It's interesting and silly.

Elite Sports NY writes about who the Brewers may be willing to give up, but only if the Yankees actually land Manny Machado or not.  Check this out:

"According to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi, while Cincinnati has backed off, the Brewers are still “prominent in Sonny Gray talks...


The asking price for Milwaukee probably depends on Manny Machado. The Yankees are anxiously awaiting Machado’s free agency decision to see what pieces they’ll need going forward. If the Yankees pull Machado, they could ask the Brewers for a bullpen piece, such as Corey Knebel or Jacob Barnes. Should Machado spurn New York, Cashman could ask for infield help, such as 24-year-old Mauricio Dubon, a career .300 hitter in the minors.

Those are realistic options, though. The way he’s been playing it, Cashman might target Hader or Jeremy Jeffress in the bullpen, or top-prospect Keston Hiura for the infield."

While the pile of names are good ones, it should be acknowledged that these players are guesses.  No official word on who Cashman is actually targeting. And again... talent level will change depending on whether or not Machado is landed.

Kind of why I didn't write anything yesterday on BYB... a lot of guessing and nothing official. It's that time between Christmas and New Years where it's just quiet and the writers are going crazy... me included.


Be Read. Get Known.
