I’m a little confused why they want him.

Play Maldonado at first and use Yorvit as the backup catcher if Corey can’t play?

Good savings for AA and Rogers

Cool?

You’re not going to play Maldonado out of position when you have Ishikawa who is a above average defensive first baseman….

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Maldonado starting at 1B tomorrow against Gio – lefty righty matchups. Otherwise, if he doesn’t start at all, then Maldonado is the best right-handed hitter coming off the bench.

This is about all your gonna see from the Jays for a while. The return will basically be nothing.

Sounds like Corey Hart’s balky foot is going to be an issue the rest of the year. There should be some platoon at bats at first base for Maldonado, at which time Torrealba will serve as the back up catcher.

The modern day version of Kevin Cash.

I’ll be the one to read into this a little further and go out on a limb I guess. I kind of wonder if the Brewers are looking at Torrealba and calling this a “try out” of sorts. The Brewers have two very good young catchers who are under team control for the next what… 5/6 years each? I can’t imagine a scenerio in which they keep Maldanado to sit on the bench when they know they can probably get a decent return for trading him. He wont pull a top arm but a starting rotation type guy…maybe? The Brewers are going to make a serious run in 2013 it looks like so why not make a move in the off season that will improve this team?

If the Brewers were to trade Maldonado, I’m sure the Mets would have interest. We have plenty of the filler/back end SP that would likely match up in a deal.

Why would they do this. Makes ZERO sense.
