In the latest notes column from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required), there was a piece at the end that said the Rangers once thought they were close to sending Mike Minor to the Milwaukee Brewers when referencing the Phillies recent interest in the southpaw.
Huh. That’s interesting.
Outside of that casual mention, there were no rumors surrounding the Brewers interest in Minor. Then again, there weren’t any indications the Brewers were going after Alex Claudio either before that trade happened. David Stearns prefers to keep things close to the vest.
