MILWAUKEE (TICKER) —The Milwaukee Brewers just made themselves legitimate contenders in the National League Central.
According to published reports, the Cleveland Indians on Sunday traded reigning American League Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia to the Brewers for a package that includes top prospect Matt LaPorta.
Sabathia could be on the mound for Milwaukee as soon as Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported. The deal is contingent upon paperwork being finalized and medical reports being exchanged.
The left-handed Sabathia will become a free agent at the end of the season and already had turned down a lucrative contract extension to stay in Cleveland. it is believed he will test the market at the end of the season, meaning he may just be a three-month rental for the Brewers. |

I never hear of other teams' minor leaguers, so I have no clue if they are any good, but if we could have gotten Sabathia for a couple of bags of peanuts then ... why didn't we jump on that?

Supposedly the Brews gave up a really good prospect in LaPorta.
He had like 20 homers in AA, and he was the brews #1 draft pick in last years draft. |
