Thats a lot to give up for less then half the season.

If the brewers were able to dish out the millions to resign Sheets and lock up CC, they would have a nice top of the rotation around ASB next year with CC, Sheets and Gallardo.

If this is the trade, then its a GREAT haul for the Indians. I love Escobar, and LaPorta is a monster.

There's no way Brewers lockup Sheets, maybe CC. CC-Gallardo-Parra is a pretty nice top of the rotation, and they have Jeff Suppan who isn't terrible in there as well.

God, this is why we have to shop Bedard. I can't believe that we're not yet.

I don't see the Brewers trading Laporta. It will most likely be Gamel+.

Hmm seems now they just offered LaPorta and not both. Maybe the Brewers chip in a small prospect or two to get it done.

I don't know if they'll include LaPorta....

Dodgers and Phillies are reportly also interested in CC. CC and Rollins are good friends. Lou Marson is the only real untoucable in the Phillies system as well.

Lol will Matt Kemp finally get a full time role w/Indians

Not over Choo man.

Edit: NVM He GONE to the brewers.

What?

I have CC in a couple of leagues, get him pitching against the NL ASAP. And forefit his atbats, I don't want the fat guy running.

I guess LaPorta gets called up soon. I can't believe I stole him in the 3rd round lol

I just was told by a reliable club source that the Brewers have a deal in place with Cleveland for left-hander C.C. Sabathia, contingent on the paperwork being done and medical records exchanged.

But believe me, folks, that's a deal. All that other stuff is formality.

All I know so far is that top prospect Matt LaPorta is in the deal. I was told two lower-level minor leaguers also are included. The Brewers refused to include another top prospect such as Alcides Escobar or Mat Gamel.

Look for Sabathia to make his debut for the Brewers Tuesday night at Miller Park against Colorado.

I'll post more details as I get them.

I know Taylor is in too, but they are reporting the third player is not Escobar, Gamel nor Cain.

I wonder where GAmel will play now. RF?

Yeah I'm hearing its not Escobar or Cain.

Could it the C prospect? Maybe then they can move V-Mart to 1st, and have LaPorta at DH/or RF.

Jonathon Lucroy?

Matt Laporta, Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson, and Taylor Green

oh and JD win was talking about Salmone.

LOL Zach Jackson I remember that guy

Laporta is a nice haul for them. Him alone makes this deal better than the crap the Twins got, although Gomez has been decent.

Too bad he didn't drop, the Yankees were hoping LaPorta drop the year he got picked at # 7 when there were rumors that teams were going to pass over on him. Damn. Although we did get Brackman.

Fuck Ron Villone

Fuck Cashman for signing him back. There were some retard teams that wanted to sign him, but the fool wanted to play close to his NJ home.

Cashman can win 10 more championships and I will NEVER forgive him for resigning him.

Raising the price for A.J. Burnett. Please keep losing Jays, we're almost at the deadline...

I wanted Escobar too....

But see 'ya, C.C. Sure didn't take him long to fit in in the Brewers clubhouse....

But around this time next year there's a good chance we could see LaPorta up with the Tribe. Our PTBNL is most likely to be Taylor Green, so we'll see if his development can continue...
