That sounds like a move the Brewer front office would do. I don't care what was going on, there's no way I would get rid of a pitcher who had thrown a combined 36 shutouts in the last three seasons. They'd have to pry him from my cold, dead hands.

He threw almost 5,200 innings in his career. Strange how these older pitchers were able to throw all these innings, and yet they never would have needed Tommy John surgery, if it were available in their time.
