The Brewers could "satisfy" the Indians’ needs"More than one team see

ms to be interested in the services of at two-time Cy Young winner Ryan Rua Jersey , who knew? According to Tom Hardicourt (correction, someone Tom Hardicourt knows who is familiar with what the Indians are looking for), the Brewers could line up as a potential trade partner for Corey Kluber. I mean, he’s not wrong. The Brewers do have Christian Yelich, and I want Christian Yelich. Dream scenarios aside, the Brewers do have Corey Ray, a 24-year-old speedy outfielder who the Brewers selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2016 draft. Ray reached Double-A season where he finally stayed healthy and hit like a top prospect — a .239/.232/.477 slash (124 wRC+) with 27 home runs and 37 stolen bases. He tore his meniscus in his first season within the Brewers system that caused him to miss parts of the 2016 and 2017 season, but came back strong in 2018, though, and he’s now listed as the Brewers’ second overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline. It’s going to take more than a promising Double-A prospect to get Kluber, of course. The Brewers have a healthy selection of Milwaukee outfielders from to choose from including Domingo Santana and Keon Broxton, both of which would be under arbitration through at least 2021. Could something crazy happen that finds Lorenzo Cain in the deal? A reliever? It could get interesting. It’s also worth considering that the Brewers aren’t the Dodgers, financially. As Hardicourt notes above, a deal with the Brewers might also hinge on them being able to deal away the contract of Eric Thames. Either way, it’s yet another interested party for the Indians to play off the other ones.

Jonathan Holder (1-2) faced seven batters and did not record an out.”We have to do a better job playing a better brand of baseball especially against a real good opponent,” Boone said. ”When it’s difficult, not everything going our way, we need to be airtight to minimize damage on the other side.”Mookie Betts had four hits and two walks, reaching safely all six times he came to the plate.

He allowed five runs – four earned – six hits and two walks in five innings.”It didn’t look pretty in the beginning,” Cora said. ”But he was able to get some key outs. He gave us a chance.”BIG INNINGJohnson spotted the Yankees a 4-0 lead, but the Red Sox got one in the second and one in the third before taking the lead in the fourth.With runners on second and third and nobody out, Benintendi hit a chopper back to the mound.
