Great trade for the Brewers. Gerut is much better than both Gwynn and Chris Duffy.

I like the trade for the Brewers. I'm still curious to know who will be sent out/down though.

I've also been wondering if the additional salary in this deal (approx. $1.3 million, which isn't a ton but the Brewers are alleged to be pretty near their maximum payroll) portends a Hart/Gerut platoon of some sort.

Duffy was outrighted to AAA to make room.

While Gwynn's off to a good start for Nashville, he's never really played well anywhere professionally and I'm surprised the Padres couldn't even get a AAA suspect who's not already going on 27.

The Padres weren't interested in acquiring a AAA prospect who wasn't 27. They were interested in acquiring someone who they can pay the league minimum, and dump a guy making around $1.75M. They were also interested in possibly drawing a couple extra paying fans, and Tony Gwyn Jr. is a lot more marketable name in San Diego that Jody Gerut.

This was one of those deals which had absolutely nothing to do with actual baseball talent.
