ESPN.com is reporting that the Chicago White Sox are close to receiving the biggest name of this year's trading deadline, Alfonso Soriano. If that deal can get done quickly, it should send off a domino effect and help the Brewers in their cause of trading Carlos Lee.
One such team that could become desperate is Detroit. In an effort to stay ahead of their AL Central counterparts, the Tigers could part ways with pitching prospect Humberto Sanchez.
It may not seem like a fair trade for the Brewers to give up Lee for just a minor league pitcher, but Sanchez could get a spot in the rotation this year. He's a big power pitcher (6-6, 230) and has shown promise for Triple-A Toledo.
So while it might waive the white flag on '06, Sanchez is a guy that could really help bolster the back end of the Brewers rotation for years to come.
