This speaks to the changing face of MLB.

If it's broken fix it right away, don't wait until the deadline.

We're gonna see the earliest fire sale in the history of MLB with this team, and they have some cookies to get what they need to rebuild.

Ryan Braun anyone?

How about Carlos Gomez?

They need some youth to compete. This reminds me of the Pirates circa 2005 or so.

The Cubs made hay from that mid season fire sale.

The Brewers are not trading Ryan Braun… Gomez, maybe, but as a fan I'd hate to see him go. He does great things in the community.

When they're healthy they can be great offensively like they showed last season and they have two starters that are only 25 years old.

Pitching is what needs to be overhauled.. Trading Gallardo was a mistake, imo.

I would not be sad to see Doug Melvin go..He's completely destroyed the club's future with his horrible trades.

Notable players traded away by Doug Melvin:
Yovani Gallardo (2015)
Burke Badenhop (2014)
Nori Aoki (2014)
K-Rod (2013) Did sign the next season.
John Axrod (2013)
Casey McGehee (2012)
Zach Grienke (2012)
Brett Lawrie (2011)
Lorenzo Cain (2011)
Alcides Escobar (2011)
Matt LaPorta (2008)
Michael Brantley (2008)
Nelson Cruz (2006)
Carlos Lee (2006)


Not to mention he let R.A. Dickey and Prince Fielder walk.. You could field a pretty damn good team if you even kept half of those guys

Not exactly doing wonders for the Rangers.

Prince Fielder


How much are the Rangers paying him to hit singles?

Sad that Melvin isn't doing well there--he was good with the Rangers (got them to their first ever playoff appearances). Maybe you would consider a GM swap for Jon the Moron Daniels?
