Brewers confirm

We're giving up 3 solid prospects, two of them highly rated and MLB-ready and the other somewhat underrated but with great potential (could shoot up rankings this year, off to a great start).  Not a cheap price to pay.

We're dumping Wake's contract, which will preserve salary flexibility for the draft and any deadline deals, and we're freeing up roster space for two recently signed FA's.

We're picking up a top 5 pitcher on a great contract, solidifying an already very good rotation and adding more certainty in future years (with Lee, Danks and Gallardo all expiring at the end of 2010).

[Mr.TradeKing]

Approved. The Rockies get a decent return on Haren and begin a rebuilding stage.

:COL: and :MIL: came to a new trade agreement that wouldn't conflict with our current rules. 

Moved to invalid.
