Lucroy won't demand trade, says move best option for Brewers

MILWAUKEE -- Veteran catcher Jonathan Lucroy says the Milwaukee Brewers should trade him as the team begins a rebuilding process.
Lucroy says he wants to win, to go to a World Series, and that's not going to happen with the Brewers in the foreseeable future. The 29-year-old catcher tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that "rebuilding is not a lot of fun for any veteran guy."
In six major league seasons, all with Milwaukee, Lucroy has batted .282 with 66 home runs and 337 RBIs.

The Brewers went 68-94 last season and changed managers.
