The first domino of the great 2015 Milwaukee Brewers’ sell-off fell on Thursday, as GM Doug Melvin shipped third baseman Aramis Ramirez back to the place where his career began, Pittsburgh, in exchange for minor league reliever Yhonathan Barrios. Most fans expect more deals to happen between now and the non-waiver deadline on July 31st, and the Brewers have several movable pieces they can use to help give their rapidly improving farm system a boost.
One player who is arguably a no-brainer to be dealt is outfielder Gerardo Parra. The Brewers acquired Parra in a deadline deal in 2014, sending Anthony Banda and Mitch Haniger to the Diamondbacks in exchange for the two-time Gold Glover.
