[ryancrew11]

what a trade the cardinals and the pirates should be scared now!!!!

[key2win]

Is he still the closer? This may affect my fantasy team.

[ryancrew11]

its still early to tell yet what they are gonna do with that maybe it will be krod/ axford or the other way around will be interesting to see

[key2win]

Wait I have Axford too. Either way this is going to affect my team. LOL!

[jaybarkerfan]

Surprised they got him

[ryancrew11]

yeah me too its kinda shocking we still need a 3b and shortstop unless counsell and betancourt get thier acts together

[JesRey]

That's a nice bullpen they have now.

[ryancrew11]

yeah it is now we can release or demote estrada he sucks melvin seems to make good moves ... most of the time

[jsab4807]

Those dreaded PTBNL's can end up being solid players down the road. But for now, Brewers got a good deal.

[The Question]

Mets trade closer Rodriguez to Brewers (AP)

Former All-Star closer Francisco Rodriguez was traded from the New York Mets to Milwaukee on Tuesday night, boosting the Brewers' bullpen for a second-half run at the playoffs. The Mets sent Rodriguez and cash to Milwaukee for two players to be named. The trade was announced right after the All-Star game ended.

yeah they can be ... look at all the brewers gave up for sabathia... laporta is doing good and so is brantley too it sucks that we cant keep em here

[jsab4807]

Brantley was the PTBNL in that deal. He's been the best player out of everyone Cleveland got thusfar.

[ryancrew11]

yeah it still was sad to see him go... greinke needs to get his s--- together quickly

[gladdyontherise]

Heard KRod will setup for Axford, the only reason the Brewers would to that is so his option doesn't get hit for 2012 ($17.5 mil)

How bout those Pirates. They should have been scared anyways. They are over achieving while all the other teams with huuuuge bats are underachieving.. Krod is not a difference maker. Starting pitching is
