Rockies, Brewers unable to agree on trade for Justin Morneau
The Milwaukee Brewers tried to trade for Colorado Rockies first baseman Justin Morneau, but the two teams could not come to an agreement after the Brewers were awarded a waiver claim on him, CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports.
The Rockies were not satisfied with the package of players offered by the Brewers for Morneau, so he will stay in Colorado.
