Adam, whose work is stellar even if not for the fellas he gets compared to...discusses that the braintrust met for a long time before the game and that a deal, or at least trying to make a deal, appears imminent.
Sabathia is far and above the best name out there, but Greg Maddux is said to be available. Other than that, guys that may be available are not upgrades, even over Dave Bush, in my opinion. That could change as time progresses, but as of now, at best, they are moves that would add depth, but not improve the staff's top 5.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
