    Lucroy REJECTS Trade to Indians

    He may just stay put in Milwaukee, although he COULD also go to the Mets

    If Lucroy wants to play for a winner, he must really have something against the city of Cleveland.

    ESPN’s Buster Olney tweets that the efforts to convince Lucroy to approve the trade will continue, so the book on the proposed trade may not be fully closed just yet. Lucroy, it should be noted, is on one of the most team-friendly contracts in Major League Baseball, and teams will often utilize financial incentives to convince players to waive no-trade clauses. An extension or at least a restructuring of his 2017 salary ($5.25MM) could make sense, though that’s simply speculation on my behalf.

    Yahoo’s Jeff Passan reports (via Twitter) that Lucroy asked the Indians to void his 2017 club option in order to hit the open market at the end of the season in order to approve the deal (Twitter link). Understandably, Cleveland was in no way willing to meet that request, as the option is a significant factor in Lucroy’s value to the club.

    You've never been to Cleveland. In the summer, it's about a hundred times better than the cesspools of New York, L.A., Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, or Houston.

    Love Luc, but he is absolutely killing the Brewer rebuild right now. His value will never be higher and we could have had a HUGE haul from the Tribe - Disappointing! Hopefully he's moved by the deadline.

    No trade clause means no trade. What part do these reporters don't understand? No easy deal to move in the middle of season from Milwaukee to Cleveland.

    Not sure you've seen him. He's a top 5 catcher in baseball, both offensively and defensively.

    i guess he had decent may but every time i bet on milwacky, he just leaves runners in scoring position. the guy isn't clutch.

    yeah catcher position is thin in the majors but it's not like the guy is a game changer.

    Top 5 at his position is a game changer. Indians are serious contenders with him. Without him not so much. Don't be such a Indians homer. I hope the Indians get him. Rather have him in the al.

    I bet he would go to the Red Sox.......But they need starting pitchers, or at least one good one. Drew isn't the answer.........
