David Stearns is apparently an early riser, as a report emerged before the sun came out in Milwaukee this morning that the Brewers are set to acquire catcher Omar Narvaez in a trade with the Seattle Mariners:
The #Brewers have found their primary replacement for Yasmani Grandal. They are close to acquiring catcher Omar Narváez from the #Mariners, a source tells The Athletic. M’s would receive at least one minor leaguer in return.

After losing Yasmani Grandal to free agency and the Chicago White Sox, that left the Brewers with Manny Pina as the only proven catcher within the organization.
