Current mood of Brewers’ GM David Stearns, am I right? That may be the first time I’ve ever lead off with a link and I hope that’s not some kind of journalistic faux pas (Ed. note: I’m not even sure what a fox paw is, so I let it slide). I think yesterday’s flurry of moves by the Brewers was even more shocking after reading Evan’s follow-up to Jon Greenberg’s “Fallow Winter” piece for the Athletic.
Epstein, possibly representing the same choice of emoji as our favorite free agent starting pitcher, spent some time with Greenberg (subscription required/recommended) pondering the lack of player movement this winter and admitted he and his staff are just as puzzled as we are.
