Report: Brewers received 'terrible' offer for Braun
Trade offers for Ryan Braun aren't exactly as hot as the Milwaukee Brewers hoped they would be.
The Brewers have been disappointed with current negotiations regarding a trade for Braun, going as far as to describe one offer as "terrible for a player with a 137 OPS+," reports MLB Network's Jon Heyman.
Braun is posting numbers similar to his MVP award-winning season, slashing .321/.383/.515 in 2016 compared to the .332/.397/.597 he posted in 2011. However, interest in the 32-year-old has been lukewarm at best.
A troubling history of injuries may be one reason for a quiet market for Braun, as the left fielder has been hobbled with neck and back issues this season. Braun's contract also contains a limited no-trade clause that allows him to block a trade to six teams: the Miami Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, and both the Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels.
