Lucroy blocks trade to Indians

MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Brewers hit a snag while trying to trade one of their key players before the deadline.

Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy has blocked his proposed trade to Cleveland after the teams had reached a preliminary agreement on a deal sending the two-time All-Star to the Indians. Lucroy said Sunday he wasn’t going to go into the details behind his decision.

“When you are dealing with life-changing, life-altering decisions like this, there are a lot of factors that come into play, mostly family,” he said before the Brewers’ 4-2 win over the Pirates.

“The other half of that is your future in this league and your career. There are a lot of different things to take in. Whenever those things don’t line up, decisions have to be made that might be tough.”
