Disgruntled catcher Johnny Estrada has been traded to the Brewers in a six-player deal that sends talented left-hander Doug Davis to the Diamondbacks. Estrada, a former Phillies prospect, said late in the season that he wouldn't mind returning to Philadelphia, but the Phillies weren't about to part with a pitcher like Davis.Here are details on the trade courtesy of Tom Haudricourt in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.

Wolf to Dodgers
Ed: From what I've heard, and it's about 1 a.m. Monday morning, nothing is official yet with Wolf. The Dodgers would be a sensible landing spot for him since he's a southern California native. But I'm sure the Phillies will have a chance to make a counter-offer before Wolf finalizes any deal to go elsewhere.
As I wrote in the comments section of a previous post, Wolf's agent was hoping to have a deal done before the winter meetings begin on Dec. 4, and it appears that deadline will be met. But, at this time, nothing is official.
How much did the Phillies have to pay Wolf to see him rehab and then leave? What a loser - great weay to show loyalty, huh?
Anonymous: There's no question the Phillies feel spurned by Wolf. He made $9 million last season, and their efforts to rehab his elbow from Tommy John surgery were immeasurable to the continuation of his career.
But, at the same time, you can't ever begrudge someone for wanting to work closer to home. We have no idea what else may be going on in Wolf's life that has caused him to want to pitch in southern California. Ultimately, being happy outweighs everything else, including loyalty.
