2-MINUTE DRILL
Braun back on disabled list Kenneth Marshall: I think at this point Braun is pretty much untradeable. If he is traded, it will be nothing but a salary dump if another is willing to take a risk since I doubt they would give up top prospects. Even then the Brewers would probably have to take on part of his salary. Michael Poquette: Braun apparently had value even last year with the rumored Puig deal, but after this new series of injuries, literally since the start of the season, he’s becoming untradeable.
Feliz demoted as closer Chris Jansen: Feliz needs to be sent down. He is not helping this team out at all. Brewers are still in a rebuild, and Braun will be here for the duration since no one wants to take on his injuries and over priced contract. However, I don’t doubt that if Thames continues to hit, he will be traded in July for more prospects.
Brian Gutekunst interviews with Bills William Kircher: Green Bay’s setup has the GM picking the head coach and the GM reporting to the Mark Murphy. In Buffalo, the Head Coach is reporting directly to the owner. I don’t believe any of the Packers’ GM assistants will agree to this type of setup in which they share power.
McGinn, Gardner retire from Journal Sentinel Jim Canales: Thank you to both gentlemen. I have enjoyed your work for many, many years. Very much appreciated, and will be missed for sure. Mark Baus: Wow, these guys will be missed. Two old-school sports reporters who are smart enough to know what they know and what they don't. Thad Farnham: In his own way, Bob McGinn is as much a freak of nature as Julius Peppers. Gifted with an analytical mind and an unreal work ethic, we Packer fans were the lucky benefactors of Bob’s talent. I will miss his, completely unbiased, but deeply researched writing.
