Brewers interested in JV?

They have a good farm system and some pieces I'd imagine we could use!

I always thought that would be a good destination.. Some speculate Sony Gray.

FuckFace Dumb Shit Sneaky Bastard Al Avila is trying to do a salary dump

FuckFace Dumb Shit Sneaky Bastard Al Avila is trying to do a salary dump
no matter what he says in interviews to the smegma breath, ball less sacks of shit, that are the Tigers media ass clowns who write down what he wants for him.

Tigers GM Al Avila went on MLB Network Radio on Thursday with former Reds general manager Jim Bowden. Asked how much of Verlander's contract the Tigers might be willing to eat, Avila said, "We have to keep an open mind to everything."

While I don't think Al knows what he is doing, I think he gave the right answer here.

Miguel won't be traded. His money is just too much.

 

[tigermud]

Trade rumors heating he up again,

JV, kinsler, Avila and Justin Wilson. It's common names, dodgers, cubs brewers most common teams said to be interested

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

After his dog shit haul for JD I have zero faith in anything else that man can bring in....

JV probebly not going anywhere if they willing to eat portion of remaining contact beyond this year nor do I think they should if they trade him and eat a large portion I'd consider that stupid

 

[tigermud]

I don't even care anymore, go ahead do it

As much as I want JV to stay I know he wants to leave. And I will not root for him if he goes to the Cubs or Dodgers.. 2 teams I absolutely hate.

How do you know JV wants to leave?
Did he say something in an interview somewhere?

Not in so many words but he did say he didn't want to play for a team in a rebuild mode... I take that if he's not traded but others are he'll be unhappy. I'm hope I'm wrong.. He's the one I want to stay.

Sadly this team is just poorly constructed. It needs to be broken up. If that includes trading everyone not named Fulmer i am ok with it. Hate not seeing Miggy and Justin Verlander finish thier careers with Detroit but we need to do whats best for the team.
The Team, The Team, The Team!!!!

From the article: "Detroit has already begun to sell a bit, moving pending free-agent J.D. Martinez for a few middling prospects."

EDIT: "The Tigers could save some money in the near term by trading some of their long-term deals, but they’ve never hesitated to spend the money required to field a contender." ... the author does not know Chris Ilitch is the owner now.
