With the Milwaukee Brewers beginning to rebuild its club, it has been long speculated that Doug Melvin would not return as general manager of the Milwaukee Brewers in 2016.

On July 12, the last day of games before players broke away for the 2015 All-Star Break, the Minnesota Twins’ record sat nine games above .500 at 49-40.

While both signings made a big splash when they first happened following the 2012 season, Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher have become two of the most hated men in Cleveland over the past two seasons.
