Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause to veto a pending deal to Cleveland, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lucroy had a no-trade clause in his contract for eight teams, and Cleveland was one of them. Although the move is surprising, it was entirely within his rights to do so. The Brewers still have time to put together a deal for Lucroy prior to Monday's 4 PM ET trade deadline, but the backstop's decision puts them in a tough spot where he could potentially remain in Milwaukee until the offseason.
