The San Francisco Giants had “conversations” with the Milwaukee Brewers about Ryan Braun, but Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News is not at all optimistic about a deal for the star left fielder.
“Milwaukee wanted salary relief in addition to some pretty good players going the other way. The fact he is still there tells you they haven’t changed their demands,” Baggarly responded in a mailbag column.
The Brewers are off to a respectable 12-11 start, giving their front office added incentive to see how the season goes.
