MILWAUKEE -- For the second straight season, the Milwaukee Brewers hit a snag while trying to trade one of their key players before the deadline.Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy has blocked his proposed trade to Cleveland after the teams had reached a preliminary agreement on a deal sending the two-time All-Star to the Indians. Lucroy said Sunday he wasnt going to go into the details behind his decision.When you are dealing with life-changing, life-altering decisions like this, there are a lot of factors that come into play, mostly family, he said before the Brewers 4-2 win over the Pirates. The other half of that is your future in this league and your career. There are a lot of different things to take in. Whenever those things dont line up, decisions have to be made that might be tough, but thats the way it has to be.Last year, Milwaukee had a deal fall through with the Mets that would have sent Carlos Gomez to New York. Gomez was traded to Houston instead.Milwaukee general manager David Stearns said the Brewers would move on after Lucroy refused to waive the no-trade provision in his contract. Stearns said there was no chance of re-working the deal with Cleveland.We know this is part of the process, Stearns said. It is why we engage with multiple teams throughout the entirety of the negotiation. Jonathan elected to invoke the no-trade clause. We were aware that was a possibility.Cleveland, which leads the AL Central, has been looking for a catcher since Yan Gomes separated his shoulder.The 30-year-old Lucroy is batting .299 with 13 homers and 50 RBI. He has a $4 million salary this year as part of a contract that includes a $5.25 million team option for 2017.Lucroy said simply that there were circumstances that came up that caused him to block the deal.Im not going to comment on any specifics, nothing like that, as much as Id like to, he said. Im respecting their process and what the Brewers are trying to do in terms of the trade. If thats going to happen or not, I dont know. As of right now, Im still a Brewer and Im going to be until somebody tells me different.Lucroy appeared as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning. He received a standing ovation from the Miller Park crowd, then flied out to right field in what could be his final appearance for the Brewers.The deadline for trades without waivers is Monday.I still expect the next 36 hours to be interesting and eventful, Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said. Luc has been here for six years, so having him here is business as usual. Cheap Lebron Shoes Canada .

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee doesnt believe Florida holds any sort of mental edge whenever these two teams stage their annual matchup.Recent history suggests otherwise.No. 19 Florida (3-0, 1-0 SEC) has beaten No. 14 Tennessee (3-0, 0-0) each of the last 11 years. Three times in the last four years, Tennessee was favored in the days leading up to the game but still found a way to lose. Tennessee is favored again in Saturdays meeting at Neyland Stadium, though the spread has dropped from 10 points to 6 +.Weve got a bunch of confident guys on our team, Tennessee defensive tackle Kendal Vickers said. I dont think theres any mental edge anywhere.Each of the last two seasons, Florida has come from behind in the fourth quarter to beat Tennessee by a single point. The Gators won 10-9 in 2014 and 28-27 last year .To end the streak, Tennessee must find a way to move the ball against a Florida team that leads the nation in total defense and scoring defense.Gators cornerback Quincy Wilson boldly predicted a Florida victory by saying that nobody has ever seen a duck pull a truck. Florida Gators are going to win, simple as that.Its just something that we have instilled in us here at Florida that we just dont lose to Tennessee, Florida running back Jordan Scarlett said.Tennessee has reason to believe it could end the streak this year.Florida must turn to backup quarterback Austin Appleby for Saturdays game after usual starter Luke Del Rio injured his left kn ee last week in a 32-0 victory over North Texas. Tennessee has its own injury issues with cornerback Cam Sutton and linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. sidelined by ankle injuries.Tennessee has won nine straight games over the last two years. Tennessee coach Butch Jones believes his team gained strength in coming from behind to beat Appalachian State and Virginia Tech and by withstanding injuries to defeat Ohio .Our team is very confident, Tennessee coach Butch Jones said. You dont win nine games in a row by not having confidence. Weve suffered some adversity. A lot of the adversity, some of it we created for ourselves. But I think thats healthy because our football team could have quit under some adverse situations, and theyve never blinked.---Some thinggs to watch when Tennessee hosts Florida.ddddddddddddWELCOME BACK: Florida should have its leading receiver back for this game, as Antonio Callaway has returned to practice after missing the North Texas game with a deep thigh bruise. Tennessee offensive tackle Chance Hall likely will make his first appearance of the season Saturday after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery last month.FLORIDA PASS RUSH: Florida has 16 sacks to lead all Football Bowl Subdivision teams. Five different Gators have recorded at least two sacks each. Tennessee gave up three sacks against Ohio last week and has struggled to come up with the right combination of five linemen to have on the field.CONTAINING DOBBS: Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs only threw for 87 yards against Florida last season, but he also rushed for 136 yards and had a 58-yard touchdown catch. We know how much of a threat he is and how much he can hurt you if you allow him to, Florida linebacker Jarrad Davis said. Last year he put a hurting on us pretty bad.ANOTHER BACKUP QB: Appleby, a graduate transfer from Purdue, will try to continue a recent tradition in this rivalry. Two of the last three years, a backup quarterback has helped Florida beat Tennessee. Tyler Murphy replaced an injured Jeff Driskel and led Florida to a 31-17 triumph in 2013 . Treon Harris took over for an ineffective Driskel and rallied the Gators in 2014.FAMILY CONNECTIONS: Tennessee defensive coordinator Bob Shoop is the brother of John Shoop, who worked with Appleby as Purdues offensive coordinator in 2013-15. Shoop acknowledged he had spoken to his brother this week and heard the former Purdue assistants impressions of the 6-foot-4 Appleby. My brother gave him a tremendous compliment, he compared (Appleby) to Ben Roethlisberger in the pocket, Shoop said. He said (Applebys) a big, strong kid. Were very well aware of that. You get him in the pocket, hes got people hanging on his body and can throw the ball.---AP Sports Writer Mark Long in Gainesville, Florida contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
