It’s easy to dream on a prospect haul. It’s harder to replace a real closer.
Some of the hottest Milwaukee Brewers discourse right now is the classic small-market reflex: sell high on the closer before his price tag climbs, cash in the value, and trust the bullpen factory to crank out the next guy.
And sure, teams are calling. When you’ve got a first-time All-Star closer with two years of control, you’re going to get the New York Mets/Yankees types sniffing around.
