Yankees Interested In Cameron

[Mach]

Because they need to fill spots I presume, and Igawa is cheaper this year anyway, than Cameron.

I mean, I wouldn't do the deal if I were MIL, but I think they're waving the white flag.

If they're waving the white flag and in the mood for making dumb deals, I hope Melvin trades Prince Fielder to the Giants for Dave Roberts and Jonathan Sanchez. The only spot Igawa fills is in AAA.

New York has told Milwaukee that no pitcher on their 40-man roster is available.

THANK GOD for this

[love_that_reefer]

Sounds like no Cameron then.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

Not really

Both sides still expect a deal to get done eventually.

[love_that_reefer]

Yankees have to give or Melvin is a retard.

[Mach]

Igawa is not on our 40 man, so it looks like this is what it is. Seemingly.

[love_that_reefer]

I guess Melvin was satisfied with making the playoffs once in 25 years.

[Mach]

I really don't know what he's thinking. Awful trade for MIL.

According to the New York Times, "the Yankees are backing away from a potential Melky Cabrera-for-Mike Cameron trade with the Milwaukee Brewers, at least for now."
The newspaper reports that "at this point the Yankees' main question is baseball-related, not financial," which suggests that they're unwilling to meet the Brewers' demands for a second player.

Good for the Brewers

[Mach]

Mindboggling.

The Yanks do believe they can wait, so I assume this may relate to the Tex/Manny thing at least partially.

I hope.

If the Yankees get Manny, I will laugh so hard I might not ever find anything funny again. Tell the Steinbrenners to make a good offer for Randy Winn.

[Mach]

I like Randy Winn. Can we have him?

[love_that_reefer]

Can't just "have" him. I'm sure he could be had for the right price.

Kei Igawa?
