Its probably smoke by the Brewers to make the Cubs pay more for him.

Yep AZ trying to pit the two teams against each other.

Skenes with 6 scoreless. ERA down to 1.83

Wonder what kind of a prospect package it would take to acquire Skenes

Absolutely. Doesn’t mean the Brewers are not in on him. But Az definitely wants this news out. 

[BKHoo]

Please don’t go the Keller route. His metrics are not good.

Probably whichever 5 guys in the system the Pirates like the most. I'm not sure though, I can't think of a comparable player to Skenes that was traded in his second year in the league.

If Logan Henderson is legitimately on the table for Suarez then I hope the Cubs are out. That's at least equal to giving up Wiggins which is just insane for 2 months of Suarez.

Bret over at bleachernation comped the Brewers rumored names with

Cubs

Wicks/Long/ Drew Grey

 

Which I'd fine with.

Henderson is a top 100 prospect,  who has dominated in his first 4 mlb starts. I think that is a lot of wishful thinking to find those comparable.

I don't want to set the Pirates up with quality Bats.  I don't want Caisse...Wiggins or Long in our division.

I believe the Cubs are catching the Brewers at the right time, they're regressing coming off that unconscious stretch they had.  Time for the Cubs to put together a hot stretch of their own.

Agreed.  But the Brewers could also say something similar given that Busch, Tucker and Seiya are all slumping right now.

Yes, yesterday may have been the worst day of Busch' career, 4 K's to along with not picking Shaw' throw.  It looked like a tough but, make-able chance.

Trading Henderson for Suarez would uncharacteristically stupid for the Brewers so i hope they do that. I really doubt thats even on the table for Suarez

That ball flattened out after it hit the dirt.  I can't really blame him for not picking it.
