Brewers Trade Hardy for Gomez

We've had some discussion about the Astros possibly trying to trade for J.J. Hardy or sign him after a non-tender. Not happening. The Brewers traded Hardy to the Twins for CFer Carlos Gomez. Gomez is a speed demon and tremendous CFer, but his offensive output, or lack thereof, has frustrated the Twins. (Recall that Gomez was the principal prospect sought from the Mets in exchange for Johan Santana.) The discussion at BBTF here seems to reflect a consensus that the Twins got the best of this deal...or else, the Brewers just wanted something in exchange for a player who would otherwise be non-tendered. Also the BBTF discusion seems to assume that this means last year was Cameron's last as a Brewer.

Just another reason why the Twins compete

every year with their payroll.

Smart moves.

As I mentioned in a thread which is off the front page now…
the Brewers also placed Adam Heether on their 40 man roster. He is a 4A player in the Brewers’ system whom we had speculated as a dark horse free agent for the Astros’ third base needs.
