Trade in the Works?

UPDATE: Henry Schulman also says it looks like it's going to be Durham for Ford.

UPDATE: That first rumor might be too good to be true. Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is hearing Durham or Taschner for Darren Ford.

Courtesy of McCovey Chronicles:
WSSP 1250 AM in Milwaukee is reporting that Milwaukee Brewers and the San Francisco Giants are close to a deal that would send Milwaukee's Double A Catcher Angel Salome, Single A prospect Outfielder/speedster Darren Ford, and Triple A First Baseman Brad Nelson to the Giants for Second Baseman Ray Durham, Reliever Jack Taschner, and a PTBNL.
I'm not going to say anything until I know this is true.


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
