Brewers can't strike deal at trade deadline

August 1, 2007 By WRN Contributor

It wasn't for a lack of effort, but the Milwaukee Brewers let the Major League Baseball trade deadline come and go without a deal. 

The Brewers had an offer on the table to the Texas Rangers for reliever Eric Gagne, but the Rangers sent him to Boston after the veteran closer dropped his no-trade clause to that team in exchange for the Red Sox guaranteeing an additional $ 2.5-million to cover incentives in his contract. 

The Brewers were ffering outfielder Tony Gwynn Jr., left-handed pitcher Zach Jackson (9-7, 4.69 ERA at Class AAA Nashville) and another minor league player for Gagne.

Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin said not getting Gagne was softened by the fact that they were able to acquire reliever Scott Linebrink earlier.
