August is an interesting time for the trade market. Very little is generally known about the trade discussions going on, and we only learn about possible trades right before they’re made official.
But one thing that is a known fact right now is that Daniel Murphy of the Washington Nationals has been claimed on waivers by a mystery team. Could the Milwaukee Brewers be that mystery team?
National League teams get the first chance at Murphy on waivers, so there’s a good chance the Brew Crew got a chance to claim him.
