New York Yankees Considered Trading Nick Swisher for Mike Cameron?

 
From Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel (hat tip to WasWatching.com ): The Yankees still have interest in acquiring Brewers centerfielder Mike Cameron after talks broke off in late December. They recently floated the idea of swapping first baseman/outfielder Nick Swisher for Cameron. I don't like this idea at all. But that might not even matter. According to Brewers GM Doug Melvin, it appears that they will not be trading Cameron soon: "I'm not motivated to move him," said Melvin, who promised Cameron he would only trade him to a contender. "Having a good defensive centerfielder is valuable." As I've said from the start, I don't think the Yankees need Mike Cameron.   (link)
