Back in 2017, the Milwaukee Brewers were rumored to be after Sonny Gray when he was on the trade block from Oakland during the July trade season. But Oakland desired Lewis Brinson and the Brewers turned them down, opening the door for Gray to be traded to the Yankees. That has backfired horribly for New York.
Since the beginning of the offseason, the Yankees have made clear their intention to trade Sonny Gray this winter after he posted a 6.98 ERA in Yankee Stadium this year.
According to Jon Morosi, the Brewers are a prominent player in the discussions for Gray this winter.
