"We're getting word that the Brewers are going to call a news conference this afternoon to announce … something.

The team hasn't officially announced anything yet. At this point, I don't think it has anything to do with Prince Fielder and we haven't heard anything about a trade or big roster move like that.

If the announcement is something having to do with a contract extension, the likeliest player to get a deal done is right-hander Yovani Gallardo, who is eligible for arbitration after this season.

Gallardo had his contract renewed this spring, the only player the Brewers were not able to come to an agreement with, giving him $450,000 this season based on the formula the club uses for players with less than three years of service. Gallardo wasn't overly pleased with that, although not to a point where it left him bitter about the organization. He was also the last player to sign the previous spring."
