Brewers don't want to trade 3 pitchers for Olson. They have at least 5 OFs in their system ahead of Butler. Brewers keep Small and Red Sox send Butler to A's.

I like it for the Sox & the A’s should be falling over themselves to do this but I just don’t believe the Brewers will trade Hader & / or Houser

Just thoughts on my part Brewers -get a potential OF/1B prospect for down the line, because they really don't have a great one in the pipe anyhow. -Get the Big Bat that everyone is clamoring for -Another solid bullpen arm Red Sox -Get one of the best relievers in the game (can absorb that arb salary for the next few years) -Get another solid starter in arb. -Puk is the wild card- If healthy could be a steal, but has definitely not shown that health yet. A's -Get 2 controllable pretty much MLB ready starters. Maybe not enough back for oakland fans from what they were hoping from Olson? But just thoughts

Down vote for Oakland. The A's can't be in the business of trading prospects when they need to be adding them to the system. They can't trade 4 and take back 2 when they already have holes on the big league roster and are thin in the minors.
