The Milwaukee Brewers took to social media to send a not-so-subtle message on Wednesday.
"He's untouchable."
If you're wondering who exactly they're talking about and what the context is, just take a look at the post and allow us to take a very short walk down memory lane.

Logan Henderson, the man who earned that untouchable tag, put together yet another stellar outing in Milwaukee's victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday -- though the post had a tad bit more to do with the overall conversation surrounding the young starting pitcher than it did his individual performance.
The Detroit Tigers' asking price for superstar starting pitcher Tarik Skubal seemed to be far higher for the Milwaukee Brewers than the Los Angeles Dodgers, with the latter ultimately giving up three prospects for someone who grades out as perhaps the most valuable piece moved at the trade deadline over the last decade.

MLB Media's Adam McCalvy was told that the relatively uninspiring return from Los Angeles (Zyhir Hope, Brady Smith, and River Ryan) could be best compared to what would amount to an absolute haul from Milwaukee (Henderson, Luis Pena and Bishop Letson or Josh Knoth) -- which was backed up by Baseball Trade Values.
In short, the Brewers would have needed to give up more than the Dodgers. Hence the snarky little social media post from Milwaukee.
The Brew Crew have every reason to feel some sort of way about the way things went down, but at least they can point to a pair of "untouchable" young starting pitchers and the best record in Major League Baseball!
