Milwaukee Brewers trade rumors

The latest rumors I'm hearing involving the Milwaukee Brewers are that the team is still shopping Carlos Lee, but are interested in acquiring Joe Randa, Shea Hillenbrand and Kyle Lohse. ESPN.com reported that Milwaukee had entered the Bobby Abreu sweepstakes, but Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that General manager Doug Melvin "laughed at" that rumor, so I guess its safe to say that's not happening. What about the others?

I've heard where the Brewers are interested in acquiring Greg Maddux from Chicago. The obvious connection would be his brother is the Milwaukee pitching coach and Ned Yost, the manager, is a former Braves coach.

Interesting. I haven't heard that one, but like you said, it makes sense.

Plus Milwaukee is an I-94 skip from Chicago...not far to go...I am getting familiar with that side of the country of late...
