Comments
4Non-starter from Brewers view. They don't need outfielders or utilitymen. A trade or Hader starts with young controllable pitching and prospects. Start with Jesus Luzardo or AJ Puk and add some prospects you might get Stearns to listen. Urias is going no where, he is controllable for 5 years and will play SS.
Not interested in Oakland spending that much trade capital on a RP.

Hi Grover! Nobody liked this trade (me included) and the comments above sum it up pretty good. However, I did see a trade with the Brewers and Athletics that I thought was fair and even possible. I suggested a few changes and I'm not sure you got a chance to look at it. First off, I have to assume Oakland would be interested in Hader if the price is right. If they would be interested, what you think about the following trade with the changes I suggested in the comment section. I'd be interested in your opinion. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-17367/
I'll take a look. But my general stance is it's better to buy relief arms in bulk than to pay for a premium asset.
