Rosenthal’s Latest: Rangers, Brewers, Braun, Braves, Sale, Mariners

By Connor Byrne | August 6, 2016 at 5:42pm CDT

Well-regarded prospects Lewis Brinson and Luis Ortiz headlined the package the Brewers received from the Rangers on Monday in exchange for catcher Jonathan Lucroy and reliever Jeremy Jeffress. Not to be forgotten, Texas also agreed to include a player to be named later, and FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal (video link) characterizes that player as “a significant piece” who could be along the lines of Brinson and Ortiz – both of whom rank among Baseball America’s 75 best prospects. The reason Milwaukee didn’t land the player Monday is because the two teams ran out of time before they could agree on whom it would be, leaving the Brewers to eventually choose one from a list the Rangers provided them.

More from Rosenthal in the aftermath of the non-waiver trade deadline:

  • While the Braves checked in on Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun before acquiring Matt Kemp from the Padres, Braun’s limited no-trade clause helped prevent talks from going anywhere. There are only six places the Brewers can trade Braun without his permission, and Atlanta isn’t one of them.
  • The White Sox certainly aren’t a lock to deal left-handed ace Chris Sale during the offseason, but there will unsurprisingly be plenty of suitors if they shop him. Non-contenders are likelier to enter the mix for the 27-year-old, and teams will generally be more open to including major league players and 2016 draft picks in their offers.
  • The Mariners’ failed attempt to acquire shortstop Zack Cozart from Cincinnati isn’t a sign that they’ve given up on soon-to-be 23-year-old Ketel Marte, who has slashed just .273/.299/.358 in 300 plate appearances this season. Rather, acquiring the well-rounded Cozart and his one and a half years of team control would’ve enabled Marte to receive further seasoning in the minors. Notably, judging by their respective performances in Seattle this year, both southpaw James Paxton and catcher Mike Zunino have seemingly benefited from extra time at Triple-A Tacoma.

        The latest Brewers rumor is that one of the guys is in fact Mendez. It’s been kind of making its rounds around Brewer websites but who knows if it’s true

    Sale is likely not going anywhere, at least before next season. I think Hahn gets one more bite of the apple next season as long as they get a proven manager, or at least a better qualified guy, to manage the club, I see this experiment lasting until next trade deadline and if the next manager cannot get this club contending for a wild card at least (and/or at least play .500 against div opponents) then I see a sell off, including Sale and Q. But in order to get the best value the Sox also must clean their org out as well.. Bye bye KW, bye bye, Buddy Bell, Maybe even bye bye Hahn, and ensure you have decent scouts in place. That is what the Sox really must do this off season is rebuild their scouting dept because the guys they have now do not cut it. I think that Terry Ryan (ex Twins GM) could likely do a far better job than KW at this point
