Notes on another less-than-newsy hot stove day If the CC Sabathia camp is hoping for something big from the Los Angeles Dodgers , it’s not happened yet. Amid rumors the L.A. Angels’ reported interest in Sabathia is a bluff designed to soften up the Mark Teixeira negotiations with Scott Boras, a ...

Brown's Latest: Sabathia, Blake, Young
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com —
Let's take a look at the latest from Yahoo's Tim Brown.
C.C. Sabathia has had no conversations with the Dodgers in recent weeks.

Depending on exactly what point in the space-time continuum you're viewing this from, you're thinking one of two things:
1) What the hell happened here? Where's the MSTI I'm used to? 2) I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, everything looks fine.

It seems more and more unlikely the Astros will be able to afford Ben Sheets. They couldn't afford to offer arbitration to Randy Wolf.
For once, I'm four paragraphs into the Mug before mentioning CC Sabathia. The Angels are denying reports that they've shifted their focus from Teixiera to Sabathia, and the lefty reportedly hasn't heard from the Dodgers in weeks.
It's been a few weeks since we've heard any ...
