Brewers, Indians agree on Sabathia

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.

Somebody's just got a Cy Young Winner.

Cubby fans have nothing to worry about. Ned Yost doesn't know how to use a bullpen. Brewers won't make the playoffs. I forsee a major post all star break collapse coming.

Who's going to be the Wild Card team? St. Louis?

It could be tough for them without Pujols.

I'm just saying, the Brewers put the Wild Card on Lockdown, and for one of the only two teams not to have a playoff appearance since 1982?

I'm freaking excited.
