Brewers eyeing Hamilton and Greinke

Melvin implied that he had offered 5 years and 120 million to Greinke at the trade deadline, and that Greinke turned it down. And that the offer wouldn't be renewed. I suspect this report is a little smoke from Melvin and a lot of wishful thinking by the reporter.

Not gonna happen...for either one of them. Brewers will rely on the younger players and not sign any big free agents.

Agreed. They aren't signing Hammytoons.

A mildly intelligent middle-class citizen who sees a Corvette ZR1 at a dealership peeks in the window, drools and walks away.

A feeble attempt to stay relevant with their fans.

the GM said anything he likes, after all every GM would likely be fake, when is about top dollars,,,

Let's see, Milwaukee... you let Fielder, who hasn't missed a game in many years to walk away, only to sign a hobbled substance abuser to similar numbers, who is older to boot? Really smart.

Somehow, I don't think Milwaukee is this stupid.

The Brewers tried to keep Fielder and Grienke. Both guys valued maximizing their dollar now more than becoming a legend in Wisconsin for the rest of their lives.

GM meeting starts tomorrow and the Brewers GM must like the headlines talking about two players he like to sing, but Brew Crew fans are not getting excited because Mr. Gm you let their franchise player number 28 get away because you said you couldn't afford him.

The Brewers are not the Yankees; they do not have bottomless pockets.

The Brewers do not want to be like the Yankees; they have no intention of grossly overspending to build a paper-champion.

Who would have guessed?

SORRY to bust your chops again SI, but I talked/wrote about this more than a month ago! Stop taking credit for my research and get up off your @rse and do your own work.

Okay, let me get this straight. The Brew Crew could not afford to keep Fielder, but now they're gonna sign both a crackhead and a head case, who just happen to be the top hitter and top pitcher on the market?

Bull ****.
