Cameron Trade Hits Snag

Because...wait for it...The Yankees want more.

Via Rosenthal:

The Brewers are asking for a second player in addition to Melky Cabrera. The Yankees want the Brewers to pay a portion of Cameron's $10 million salary.

Milwaukee is not inclined to fulfill that request at a time when the Yankees are on the verge of paying over $200 million for pitchers CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett.

Cameron and Hall

for Joba…pull that trigger Doug.

Congrats 08 Crew on a fine Wild Card achievement! What do you say we keep the next postseason drought to something a little shorter than a quarter of a Century.

No you can't.

We just gave it all to Cashman.

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

what are the yankees not understanding here?

For a straight up trade between Cameron for Milky…its a salary dump for the Brewers….if you want the Brewers to pick up salary then its not a salary dump, then you must include a young pitcher to even the trade. Everyone is baseball knows this, why can’t the Yankees.

"You see that," says Cutter, pointing at his blood-stained pants. "I love that. I love it. I love always having my uniform dirty because that's how my dad did it. I kind of want to bring that style back to baseball -- a hard-nosed approach, a real blue-collar type. I throw my body around and do whatever it takes to win."

Because they're the Yankees and they always get what they want.

Didn’t you know?

I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

This makes me happy.

I have faith in Doug.

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

Why not just sign Chris Duffy if they're so desparate for marginal lefty CF's?

He wouldn’t even cost a player.
