Brewers trade Lyle Overbay to Blue Jays for Dave Bush, Gabe Gross and Zach Johnson.

Dave Bush is a good pickup given the ridiculously high price on free agent pitchers so far. I don't know where Gross fits in except to replace Chris Magruder and pinch hit. And of course adding a pitching prospect is never bad.

Also the Brewers traded Wes Obermueller for Danny Kolb. Don't know if it really matters since Obermueller was pretty bad last year and there doesn't seem to be any room for him in Milwaukee anyway.


All in all, given the way the free agent market is going I think the Brewers really helped themselves here.
