I know it's not going to happen but I was hoping all the talking btw Alderson and Melvin would lead to a larger deal around Braun.

You're right. It's not going to happen.

What could happen, however, is after losing out on Hart and Morrison, with only Loney left as a quality FA 1B with a very high price, the Brewers may well relent and give Sandy what he originally asked for in Tyler Thornburg. Thornburg would slot into the rotation, pushing Mejia out, or he could be slotted into the bull pen, possibly as the closer if Parnell is not 100% at the start of the season. Personally, I'd love to see them flip Thornburg to either Seattle (for Miller or Franklin) or Arizona. (for Gregorius or Owings)
