Fixing the Bullpen
Yes, this is my prediction.
The Brewers will get a package starring Andrew Susac, because they’re trading away Lucroy, and with Belt locked in, Posey won’t be moving away from catcher anytime soon. Probably Chris Stratton, recent major leaguer, or Ty Blach, who’s gotten hot recently, to help deal with some recent 40-Man roster needs, though they’ll also get a lower level prospect of a higher status but a higher risk.
It may not be the only move, but it’d be the one that is the best move.
In the meantime, Cody Gearrin hits the DL. The truth is that he lost his slider. Is it because of shoulder soreness? Is the shoulder sore because it’s July and he’s appeared in more games than all but two of his pro seasons, majors or minors, and most since 2010? They may be shorter outings, but it’s more often. Or…is he the scapegoat?
