UPDATE (Sunday, July 31, 11 a.m. ET): Jonathan Lucroy won’t be heading to Cleveland after all, according to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Jonathan Lucroy has exercised his no-trade clause and vetoed trade from #Brewers to Indians. Details to come.

Cleveland was one of eight teams on Lucroy’s no-trade list. He had the right to veto trade and did so. I’m sure details to come.

ORIGINAL STORY: The Cleveland Indians, already one of the best teams in Major League Baseball, are close to being even better.
The Milwaukee Brewers and Indians agreed to terms on a deal that would send catcher Jonathan Lucroy to Cleveland for four players, sources told FOX Sports’ Ken Rosenthal late Saturday night. However, Lucroy, who has a partial no-trade clause, still must approve the deal.
Here are the latest details, via Rosenthal:
