Sabathia Traded to Brewers

[Vbsiena]

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel is reporting that the Indians have acquired C.C. Sabathia from the Indians.

"According to the Tom Haudricourt, paperwork and the exchange of medical records is all that remains to be done. Sources tell Haudricourt that the package includes Matt LaPorta but that Milwaukee refused to part with other top prospects Alcides Escobar and Mat Gamel. If true, Sabathia would make his debut for the Brewers on Tuesday against the Rockies."

Shoot...Not good news for the Cubs. Hopefully we will be able to acquire someone like Rich Harden, AJ Burnett, or Erik Bedard.

They essentially just gave up a big time prospect for a three month rental. No way they resign him or Ben Sheets at the end of the season.

I agree with you. Sabathia and Sheets will likely go to greener pastures ($$) when the season is over. I'm thinking $15+ mil/year range.

Also I wouldn't be surprised to see the Brewers to trade for some bullpen help.

they only gave up one of their higher touted AA prospects, thats it.

so what if its a three month rental, if they cant keep C.C. or Sheets, might as well make a push now while they can

They probably feel now is their best shot at finally making the post season so might as well give their fans soemthing to cheer about and then maybe...just maybe.... the players will see it's a good team and stay trying to win for the love of game... Ah who am I kidding players don't love the game anymore they are all greedy and love $
