Update: Mike Cameron

The Yankees are trying to unload Kei Igawa on the Brewers and have them eat up the remaining $12 million on his contract. However, the Brewers are trying to trim their payroll and adding more money is not the way to do it. They need the money in order to restock a rotation that lost C.C. Sabathia and probably Ben Sheets. The other thing standing in the way is the 2nd player the Yankees would send. They have told the Brewers that no pitchers on their 40-man roster are avalible; meaning that Igawa would be the best pitcher they could get. The Brewers asked for Phil Coke, Jose Veras and Mark Melancon but were quickly told no.

Both sides expect this deal to get done eventually.
