MLB reporter Héctor Gómez wrote on Twitter that the Brewers had emerged "now as a top suitor" for Suárez, but the names he mentioned as a possible return lined up perfectly with our Journal Sentinel story proposing mock trades (with reaction and analysis from Curt Hogg), which seems fishy.

When the Brewers and Cubs played at the beginning of May, the Cubs were clearly the better team as they easily won the first two games of the series before the Brewers avoided a sweep by salvaging the third game.
