Cameron Talks to Heat Up

Expect the Yankees and Brewers to intensify trade talks today. The Yankees are looking to deal Melky Cabrera and possibly Kei Igawa to the Brewers in exchange for Mike Cameron. The Brewers are willing to take Igawa, who was recently moved off the Yankees 40-man roster, but want the Yankees to pay for a large chunk of his remaining $12 million. The Brewers have asked about numerous pitchers on the Yankees roster including: Phil Coke, Jose Veras, and Mark Melancon, but were immediately shot down. 

Mike Cameron is scheduled to make $10 million in the up-coming season and the Brewers are trying to unload his contract to clear up money for pitching. They have big gaps in their rotation after losing C.C. Sabathia and probably losing Ben Sheets. The $100 million that was offered to Sabathia was only for him and thus not much of it will be used for other pitchers.
