Trade Deadline: Dodgers said to be interested in Brewers 3B Aramis Ramirez 07.23.12 at 10:10 am ET

Aramis Ramirez

After three straight losses over the weekend pushed them 10½ games off the pace in the NL Central, the Brewers are likely to be sellers as the trade deadline approaches.

With rumors already circling about Zack Greinke and Francisco Rodriguez being trade bait, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that third baseman Aramis Ramirez is entering the discussion as well.

Ramirez is said to have drawn considerable attention from the Dodgers, who would like an upgrade over Juan Uribe. Hardicourt says trading Ramirez, who is in the first of a three-year, $36 million deal, would be a surprise because the Brewers have no obvious candidate to replace him.

The 34-year-old is hitting .277 with 10 home runs and 55 RBIs and is second in the NL with 31 doubles, trailing only Joey Votto (36). Ramirez doesn’t have no-trade protection in his contract.

    Just remember we dealt Youk for a bag of balls (which we cut alrighty), and Middlebrooks has been tearing it up since then.  If you consider hitting around .200 tearing it up.  Still better than Lillibridge though.  Yeah, the Sox should stay away from trades for awhile.

    My heart is broken. My soul aches. My eyes cry red tears for all the victims and their loved ones. Even those that weren’t injured physically will forever be mentally scarred by the cowardly, senseless act of this heartless piece of filth. To those responsible. You bombed our city. U hurt our loved ones. But u will never.break the spirits of the people of Boston. For we are warriors.

    Such a tragedy, I am and will pray for everyone affected by the disgusting loser who did that.

    I flew in from Los Angeles for the marathon. I am a BU grad. It angers me to see someone do this to Boston.

  • Wendy

    Boston is my emotional home, and I grew up in Worcester. My most heartfelt prayers are with all those who suffer because of this abomination. BOSTON STRONG!!!
