In the off-season the Atlanta Braves made it clear, they were on full rebuild mode and traded away fan favorites like Shelby Miller and Andrelton Simmons for a 2016 season that would make a general fan of the team look up names of the starting lineup for the team any given day. (Heck, Fredi Gonzalez might be out of there soon too.) For Milwaukee Brewers fans, they’re much in the same picture, but can still keep hold of the Jonathan Lucroy and Ryan Braun jerseys (for now).
But, as rumors started hitting the surface for Jonathan Lucroy before the season started, it was clear there might be some tricks up their sleeve.
