It appears the Brewers think it's a good idea to make their team better. Novel approach.

This seems incredibly unlikely to me but it's too much fun not to share.

Aaron Judge Trade Speculation Begins

Entering the 2021 MLB season, Aaron Judge was near the top of the list of players who seemingly had no chance of being traded before the July 30 deadline. That’s no longer the case as the New York Yankees continue to fall further out of contention.

The Yankees have been one of the league’s most disappointing teams through the first half of the year. New York is a distant fourth in the AL East and nowhere close to the top of the wild-card standings.

Usually, in July, the Yankees are looking to add players for a postseason run. Playing like a team that will be home in October with one of the American League’s oldest rosters, the case could be made that New York should actually be sellers this summer.

That has prompted MLB insiders to ask whether or not the Yankees might explore trading Judge. The 29-year-old is easily the franchise’s most valuable asset. New York could theoretically trade him for several promising young players who might help the Yankees retool.

Judge’s contract status has also forced some to question his future in the Bronx. The outfielder is set to become a free agent after the 2022 season. Judge’s production when healthy warrants a massive payday, but his age and injury history could force the Yankees to rethink giving him the long-term contract he’s expected to command.

Gallo's been eating since the sticky stuff went away.
2 more HRs today
Joey Gallo belted a pair of solo home runs and drove in three Wednesday as the Rangers fell to the Tigers.
These were not your average, ordinary home runs, either. The first one came in the second inning off Casey Mize and went 440 feet at 109.4 mph. That was just the appetizer, as Gallo's second dinger in the fourth (also off Mize) went a whopping 462 feet and was measured at 111.6 mph off the bat. Whew. The slugger was credited with a third RBI later in the game when he drew a bases-loaded walk. Gallo -- who was confirmed as a 2021 Home Run Derby participant earlier in the day -- now has 23 bombs on the season, including an absurd 12 in his last 16 contests.
an OF of o'neill, carlson, and gallo would be awesome...

O'Neill is already Dime Store Gallo. Would be a lot of Ks....but I'd take it.

Gallo has a great OBP also to offset the low BA...also a great defender so not losing anything by Bader not in there

and yes...wouldn't need AC in Busch with all the SO

Dang it, I was hoping the Cubs would stay in it long enough to delude themselves into buying players, rather than selling.

No doubt about it, the best strategy when you're a fringe team with players soon to be free agents is to sell and restock.
