LOS ANGELES -- Brewers owner Mark Attanasio isn't certain what the next two months will hold for his team, but he does know this: He's not taking any vacations.
Attanasio is famously superstitious, and laments a family trip to Hawaii in August 2014 that coincided with the Brewers' on-field collapse. A team that spent 150 days in first place in its division missed the postseason entirely, and by the following May, the Brewers were diving headfirst into rebuilding.
Club officials don't see that happening this year, not after investing in Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich over the winter, and trading for 30-homer threats Mike Moustakas and Jonathan Schoop, plus veteran closer Joakim Soria, within the past week.
