LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Brewers got a jump on the Winter Meetings action Sunday night by acquiring starter Shaun Marcum from the Blue Jays, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report. Marcum had impressive numbers for Toronto this season, going 13-8 with a 3.64 ERA in 31 starts after missing all of 2009 following elbow surgery. The Brewers reportedly are sending top prospect Brett Lawrie -- a British Columbia native -- to the Jays.
The Toronto Star reported another Canadian, right-hander Nick Bucci, might also be coming to the Jays in the deal, but the Journal Sentinel's Tom Haudricourt said late Sunday the trade is Marcum for Lawrie, straight up.

Brewers general manager Doug Melvin wouldn't confirm the trade when contacted by the Journal Sentinel, but didn't do much in the way of evasive maneuvering either.
