Didn't realize Ransom was on that sort of waiver, but he was, and now he's gone. He'll be joining Arizona on 9/1 when rosters expand.

I'll be making my weekly appearance on The Sports Den with Downtown Ollie Burrows on SportsFan 100.5 in Wausau at 6 pm tonight.
Seth McClung has been released, presumably so Thornburg has a spot to start. Best of luck to him. #Brewers

via McCalvy. Making room for Thornburg. Not that he was ever going to see the majors again, but it was fun keeping our jokes alive.
The #Brewers have optioned RHP Tyler Thornburg to Triple-A @nashvillesounds. Corresponding roster move to be announced.

RP Tyler Thornburg has been optioned to AAA Nashville, per Mike Vassallo. Corresponding move not announced yet.
Fox's John Morosi with the scoop. EDIT:Official announcement may be pushed to tomorrow; the Athletics have another move pending. "#Brewers trade of C George Kottaras to Oakland might not be announced tonight. Apparently waiting for A's to do another move first.— Tom (@Haudricourt) July 28, 2012"
Per TH. Edit: One of the corresponding moves is Lucroy's activation from the DL. The other is Jim Henderson's callup from AAA. - Cheeseandcorn
