It appears the Milwaukee Brewers' interest in Oakland Athletics starter Sonny Gray has certain limitations.
According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports, trade talks between the teams have lost steam because Milwaukee refuses to part with top prospect Lewis Brinson in any deal for the Oakland right-hander.
Brinson, acquired by the Brewers a year ago in the trade that sent Jonathan Lucroy to the Texas Rangers, made his major league debut last month but hit just .097 with 13 strikeouts in 31 at-bats.
