Updates: Mike Cameron

Here are some updates on the Mike Cameron/Melky Cabrera deal. 

Initially, the deal seemed like it was going to get done very quickly because there weren't any road blocks. 

The Yankees were requesting that the Brewers eat up some of Cameron's contract. However, they aren't really willing to comply.

A third player seems to be in the mix as the Brewers seem to really want a pitcher. They would prefer Ian Kennedy but I can guaranty that that's not going to happen. They Yankees have been trying to push Kei Igawa on them, but the Brewers are a little hesitant.

Apparently the Brewers have asked about Igawa, which is good for the Yankees. I think that the deal will be and Cabrera and Igawa for Cameron but the Yankees will agree to eat Cameron's contract if the Brewers pay for most of Igawa's remanining money.
