2016 Trade Deadline Thread (Done)

No he's not. Team option next year.

Maybe he demanded the Indians refuse it and they wouldn't?

[Crazysilver03]

He's a FA this year. He doesn't have to stay in Cleveland

Um better check again.

[Crazysilver03]

Stupid on Lucroy's part. He's going to a playoff bound team, and he says no to stay in Milwaukee.

Yeah it's weird. Cleveland was one of the 8 teams he could reject but you really put Milwaukee in a bind. They lose out on some good prospects and probably won't be able to get the same value somewhere else.

Probably. Or it was one of those let's do a extension for 2 years and he said no. Indians gave up Mejia, their top catching prospect for the trade.

[El Gordo]

Maybe CLE goes for McCaan.

It is not as if Lucroy owes the Brewers anything.

I admit I find his decision puzzling but it is within his rights to do it.

Wonder if they have the payroll space for that.

Forcing a NYM deal?

Oh I agree. He doesn't owe them anything and he negotiated this right. But it is still selfish. Especially when you beg to be traded.

He only has 8 teams on his no trade list. You would think Brewers would have focused on trading him. To a team not on list. He bargained for the 8 team list for a reason.

That's easier said then done, especially when it seems only a handful of teams are looking to upgrade at catcher.

[BradyBunch]

They could. Payroll is at 117m for them. But he's not worth that 17m. Braves want Yankees to eat 5 to 8m if McCann goes back.

Interesting.

Deal isn't dead and they are negotiating on him waiving the Ntc.

Bingo.

How is it selfish? He's been playing for them for about $2m per year for the last 5 years and they pissed that saved and money down the drain.
