The Milwaukee Brewers were officially outbid in their quest for Manny Machado, as earlier this evening a deal was finalized and announced that sent the now former Baltimore Oriole to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Brewers hung around the negotiations until the bitter end, with their offer believed to be the “runner-up” among a pack of suitors that also included the Phillies and Yankees. Slingin’ David Stearns and company were apparently quite comfortable with the idea of parting with a significant package of players to acquire Machado, but the unfortunate reality is that Milwaukee’s farm system just couldn’t compete with the Dodgers’ and they wound up getting outbid.
