The Brewers are in last place and Aramis Ramirez is aware that he could be mentioned in trade rumors.

"If we don't turn this around, sooner rather than later, it's going to happen," Ramirez said. "It's part of baseball. When teams don't perform, you see changes. If we don't turn this around quick, it's the natural thing."

Ramirez is scheduled to earn $16 million next season in the final year of his contract.

He does not have a no-trade clause.
