Brewmors Update (10/26)

Here are the Brewmors from the past week. Make sure to check the main Brewmors page for all the updates.

• Will the Mariners trade Beltre? - Eli, Eli’s MLB Rumors (10/23/08)
  

"

The Giants, Diamondbacks, and Brewers are all possibilities for Beltre, who has one year and twelve million dollars remaining on his salary. A team like the Brewers could take a chance on him because not only will he be better than Bill Hall, but his numbers should improve entering a contract year.

• Mailbag: Can Brewers sign Sabathia? - Adam McCalvy, Brewers.com (10/21/08)

"

If money were no object, the Brewers would have already handed Sabathia a blank check. But unless the team somehow negotiates a new television deal that pays like Miller Park is in Chicago, it becomes difficult to fit a player like Sabathia onto a realistic Brewers roster.

• Finding a good fit - Tony Massarotti, Boston Globe (10/23/08)

"

For beginners, Sox officials generally have refrained from throwing silly dollars at starting pitchers on the open market, particularly ones in their 30s. (In Sabathia’s case, Sox officials privately have expressed concerns about his long-term durability.)

• Yank’s Plans May Include Cameron - By George A. King III and Bart Hubbuch (10/23/08)

"

According to an industry source, the Yankees are waiting to see if the Brewers pick up a $10 million option on Cameron, who will be 36 in January.

If they don’t, the source said, the Yankees have targeted him because they consider him an upgrade at center field, where they have Brett Gardner, Melky Cabrera and Johnny Damon.
