i was shocked when i saw this, but i am excited. (no its not about
jenkins, no shock there.)
The Brewers are very disappointed with top pitching
prospect Jeremy Jeffress after he failed another drug
test and may look to trade him. They declined Geoff
Jenkins option for next year opening a spot in the
outfield. The Pirates are looking to trade Bay after a
poor offensive year and the Brewers would be smart to
get him while his asking price is still low. I suspect
that if they traded Jeffress and a minor leaguer or
two could land him, it might not even take that
though. At Lo-A this season, Jeffress, 19, was 9-5
with a 3.13 ERA in 86.1 IP. He has got a great slider
that compliments his fastball, and I think Huntington
would love to stock the Pirates with young, capable
pitching. Bay if familiar with the NL Central and an
adjustment would not be hard at all. If Bay is
officially put on the market, expect the Brewers to be
all over him.
