NL Notes: Brewers, Kershaw, Peralta, Rockies

By Steve Adams | August 8, 2016 at 10:40am CDT

Brewers general manager David Stearns spoke with Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about the difference between the would-be return for the vetoed Jonathan Lucroy trade with the Indians and the actual return he received from the Rangers in exchange for Lucroy and Jeremy Jeffress. While Milwaukee will end up with three players in exchange for Lucroy and Jeffress in the Rangers trade (as opposed to the four they’d have received from Cleveland for Lucroy alone), the Brewers landed players that are much closer to the big leagues in Lewis Brinson and Luis Ortiz than they would’ve in a Cleveland package that was headlined by Class-A catcher Francisco Mejia. Stearns also added that he’d received “indications” that Lucroy would approve a trade to Cleveland, though he declined to get into specifics about those indications and what they entailed. Lucroy’s rejection of the trade didn’t alter negotiations with other clubs much, according to Stearns, who tells Haudricourt that there was a robust market for his now-former catcher both before and after talks with Cleveland.

A few more notes from the Senior Circuit…

  • Clayton Kershaw played catch yesterday for the first time since suffering a setback after throwing a simulated game on July 17, as MLB.com’s Jack Baer writes. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has already stated that Kershaw won’t be back until September, and as Baer notes, that rules out a possible minor league rehab assignment for Kershaw, as the minor league season comes to a close at the end of August. Kershaw, instead, will rely on bullpen sessions, live batting practice and simulated games to get back up to speed in an effort to help the Dodgers down the stretch.
  • Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta, who was placed on the disabled list for the third time this season yesterday, will undergo an MRI on his bothersome right wrist today, writes MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert. This stint marks the second of Peralta’s three DL trips that has stemmed from inflammation in his right wrist, and Gilbert writes that Peralta was informed last year (when he injured the wrist for the first time) that he may have irritated a ligament.
  • The return of Gerardo Parra from the disabled list gives the Rockies four left-handed-hitting outfielders for three spots now that rookie David Dahl has cemented his place in the lineup, writes the Denver Post’s Nick Kosmider. “I’m not sure how it’s going to work out,” said manager Walt Weiss of the moderate logjam with which he is now faced. “I’ve got four really good outfielders, and they are all major league-quality outfielders. I’ve got to keep them all involved. … We can play matchups, those kinds of things. I can’t look into the future and say exactly how it’s going to go. … Parra’s a big part of this moving forward, as are the other three guys. It’s a nice issue to have.” While it seems unlikely that any of the four would be moved in the month of August, the presence of all four outfielders on the Rockies’ roster figures to lead to further speculation surrounding a possible trade of Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon or Parra this offseason.

    The return for Lucroy was solid – and fans still have to wait and see who the PTBNL is.

    Even if the Brewers didn’t get as big of a haul as they hoped, what GM is going to openly come out say that?

    With how Dahl has performed in his short time in the Majors, the Rockies would be silly to cut his at-bats with the return of Parra. I know it’s a small sample size to judge Dahl’s future success (although he hit quite well in the minors), he seems to be the superior hitter. Since Parra left Milwaukee last year, he has an OPS+ of 69 in roughly 500 at-bats. If the Rockies want to keep pushing for the playoffs, Dahl should be the everyday LF. Heck, even if they fall out of contention, Dahl should still get the lion’s share of starts out there since he is a potential core piece for future Rockies teams.

    Well the Rockies have Dahl, CarGo, and Blackmon. I’m only counting 3 quality major league outfielders. Because the 4th surely isn’t Parra and his -1.6 WAR. Parra should be on the bench or traded if you can convince someone that he is the same guy as 3 years ago.

      That was an odd signing for them. They had Corey Dickerson with control who is probably better, but traded him for a good reliever with only one year remaining. And parra was coming off a bad run in Baltimore too. Seemed bad at the time, now it’s even worse

    I would be ecstatic if the PTBNL was either Yohander Mendez or Ronald Guzman.

      Same here. I’d add tavares and Ibanez too. Maybe jurado, sadzeck or matuella if they got a little lower on the list
