Brewers get Christian Yelich from the Marlins for four prospects -- outfielder Lewis Brinson (the biggest name of the bunch), infielder Isan Diaz, outfielder Monte Harrison and right-handed pitcher Jordan Yamamoto.
It's by far the most racist caricature in major sports. It should have been removed a long time so.
I dont get how ppl say its racist. If the Ancestral American Indians are really not complaining who cares. It seems everyone says everything is racist or sexist these days everything is #metoo etc. Idk maybe im just spoutin...

So on a scale of 1-10 how disappointed are you over Trump lying to you by promising to do away with "political correctness" during the campaign? Must suck for you knowing it's only getting worse and those darn women are getting the courage to call out sexual harassment.
Damn, sifting through my posting history. Stalker is triggered!
I didn't have to 'sift through you posting history'........just a few posts above this one you revealed yourself for all to see by whining about President Trump. I've also noticed it previously with exchanges you've had with certain other posters, but I won't drag them into this. I have a excellent memory............elephants (and their supporters) never forget.

Long live the chief! Who won't exist in his current red face for for much longer.
That part about a great memory is ironic considering...
Absolutely ridiculous and terrible decision, I'm pissed off and I'm not even an Indians fan.
They got rid of the outfield teepee in the 70s and lobbied to remove the logo way back in the early 90s when they were moving to Jacobs field. It's hardly a PC metoo current age thing at all. Just an extra motivation to do it once and for all.

I have no problem if the woman was actually harassed but ive heard harassment claims over all sorts of ridiculous stuff including something as simple as telling a person you just met youd like to get to know them better can i call you for a cup of coffee, its a problem when these days all it takes is an accusation to destroy someone with no burden of proof.

A giant bright red faced Indian? How is that racist? It's the same issue the Braves had using a name like "Chief Nocahoma" (knock a Homer) for their Indian.
And multiple native tribes have spoken out against its use for decades.

One of the more notable MLB draft busts in history is finally quitting the game. Mark Appel ends his minor league career going 24-18 with a 5.06 ERA, never making the major leagues. Houston took him #1 overall in 2013, one pick ahead of Cubs superstar Kris Bryant.
Why Mark Appel, Perhaps the Biggest Bust in MLB History, Is Stepping Away at 26
He was watching from his couch last November, just three miles from Minute Maid Park, home of the Houston Astros, when his friends and former team clinched the World Series. Mark Appel couldn't help but feel slightly bittersweet about it all.
Four years ago, everyone expected Appel to be on that field right alongside them. He was the hometown kid who was supposed to become the franchise cornerstone, whose mere selection in the MLB draft was top-shelf news in the Houston Chronicle sports section. Remember that 2014 Sports Illustrated piece predicting the Astros' 2017 World Series title? Open it up, and he's right there, wearing the orange and gold alongside World Series MVP-to-be George Springer and superstar shortstop-to-be Carlos Correa.
Appel was supposed to be the centerpiece of the rebuild, the Joel Embiid to the Astros' Process.
Instead, they did it without him.
In 2013, the Astros chose Appel with the No. 1 pick, one selection ahead of Chicago Cubs MVP third baseman Kris Bryant. They signed him to a $6.35 million bonus after his senior year, when he posted a 2.12 ERA, struck out 130 batters and walked just 23 in 106.1 innings. Ben Reiter of Sports Illustrated called him "as risk-free a pitcher pick as has ever been made," while Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow deemed Appel, "the most significant investment the Astros have made in their history in an amateur player," per Brian McTaggart of MLB.com.
Evaluators expected Appel to reach the big leagues quickly, perhaps within a season, given his experience as a collegiate pitcher. But five seasons in pro ball, a 5.06 ERA and a 1.519 WHIP later, he still hasn't made the major leagues and only got as high as Triple-A. The Astros traded him two years ago as one of five pieces headed to the Phillies for closer Ken Giles.
And now, Appel is leaving the game behind, he tells Bleacher Report, taking an "indefinite break" from professional baseball. Should he never return to baseball, he would become just the third No. 1 overall pick to never make the major leagues, along with Brien Taylor of the New York Yankees (1991) and Steve Chilcott of the New York Mets (1966).
