Brewers offering Greinke
AFTER a rough road trip seemingly knocked the Milwaukee Brewers out of contention, general manager Doug Melvin acknowledges the team is fielding trade inquiries for ace pitcher Zack Greinke.
"I think people know that," Melvin said Thursday.
He confirmed Greinke's availability in comments to USA Today and Milwaukee's WTMJ radio earlier Thursday.
Melvin did not go into detail on how many teams have expressed interest in the 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner, saying only the trade market always heats up with the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaching.
Greinke is scheduled to pitch Sunday's game against Washington at Miller Park.
Despite losing Prince Fielder to free agency in the off-season, the Brewers expected to be contenders in the NL Central again this season. Instead, they entered Thursday night's game against the Nationals 91/2 games behind the division-leading Cincinnati Reds.
