Sources: Dodgers and Brewers discussed a deal involving Yasiel Puig and Ryan Braun
The "mystery" team that won the waiver rights to Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig was not a mystery to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
The national baseball columnist reported that the Milwaukee Brewers were the team that would have won the waiver battle for the right fielder.
The teams attempted to complete a deal for the controversial Puig, but were unable to make it work.
Discussed as part of the possible trade was Milwaukee All-Star Ryan Braun, whom the Dodgers had pursued before the non-waiver deadline.
Sources: #Brewers were team that won claim on #Dodgers' Puig. Teams made legitimate attempt to complete deal. Braun was part of talks.

#Dodgers, as previously reported, also pursued Braun before non-waiver deadline. Only intended to trade Puig in package for better player.

However, the teams were unable to work out the details.
That left Puig, who was recalled after a month in Triple A Oklahoma City, in the Dodgers' lineup Friday.
Puig, who hit nearly .350 in the minors, went 2-for-4 in a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres.
He is now hitting .263 on the season.
