@Brewers: The #Brewers have acquired OF Christian Yelich from Miami in exchange for OF Lewis Brinson, OF Monte Harrison, INF Isan Diaz and RHP Jordan Yamamoto. https://twitter.com/Brewers/status/9...094018/photo/1
Assume Cain isn't returning to Milwaukee? |

Brewers gave up a lot. Brinson was their big OF prospect, and a couple of those other guys were highly thought of, but Yelich is under contract until 2022 at a reasonable rate... and he's 26, a proven hitter, and will probably rake in that ballpark.
Rosenthal says that this still doesn't rule them out on Cain, which I guess is possible but they'd be overloaded with outfielders if that's the case. Then again maybe they'll just let it ride. They're a sneaky deep team who rotates in a lot of players. They had nine different guys hit double digit homers and that didn't include their catchers, who hit 9, 8 and 6. Maybe they just sign Cain and rotate him and Braun through the lineup to keep them healthy. |

Things have really not gone well for our much-touted FA class.
Is Mike Minor the only one who's signed? |

He just posted about it again. Keep in mind that the Brewers have a pretty talented outfield of Braun/Broxton/Santana, plus now Yelich. Eric Thames plays OF occasionally and they have a super utility man in Hernan Perez who plays a lot of OF.

I think the Brewers actually got Yelich for a song. Brinson is a premium prospect, and Harrison is really toolsy, but they have so much prospect depth in the outfield, they can afford to move them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

5/80 for Cain. Wow. Good for him.
Not comfortable with that length. Going to look ugly when he's on the downside. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Happy for Zo. Happy the Royals didn't give him that contract.
