Sherman's Latest: Sabathia, Fielder, Marte
Published 6/15/2008 by Tim Dierkes at MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
... The New York Post's Joel Sherman has a host of rumors in his new column. Sherman believes the Indians are leaning toward trading C.C. Sabathia.  He names the usual suspects (Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs) but also throws the Brewers into the mix based on the opinion of an "AL talent evaluator." Speaking of the Brewers, Sherman believes Prince Fielder will be available "almost definitely in the offseason" and perhaps even this summer.  Doug Melvin says he's not exploring it but never rules out ...

Yanks Continue to Pursue Marte
Published 6/15/2008 by Greg Cohen (noreply@blogger.com) at Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog
From Joel Sherman: The Yanks are working hardest at finding a lefty specialist for their bullpen, with Pittsburgh's Damaso Marte remaining the top priority from the winter until now. Nevertheless, Pittsburgh continues to believe the Yanks are not valuing Marte highly enough in their trade offers. The Pirates want to make sure they get a greater value than the two draft picks they would receive in compensation if they declined Marte's $6 million option and offered him arbitration after this season because by their computation, Marte is going to be a Type-A free ...

Filed under: Reds, NL Central, MLB Rumors, CincinnatiJoel Sherman of the New York Post ran this blind item about the Reds in his Sunday column: New Reds GM Walt Jocketty has told counterparts he wants to clean house, notably of free-agent-to-be outfielders Ken Griffey Jr. and Adam Dunn, plus Ryan Freel and - in the right deal -starter Bronson Arroyo.

Prince of the City
Published 6/17/2008 by Ed Ryan (noreply@blogger.com) at Mets Fever
... Milwaukee's Prince Fielder. Milwaukee is blessed with a lot of offensive-centric players who could switch to first (Ryan Braun in the majors, Matt LaPorta or Mat Gamel nearly ready at Double-A). Mainly, Fielder is a Scott Boras client who almost certainly will not sign a long-term contract and the Brewers could decide his greatest value is in dealing him sooner than later while his value is highest and cost to them lowest. The Dodgers, Twins and Royals also could have interest. source NY Post ...

Found this little item from Joel Sherman in the NY Post, via mlbtraderumors.com . Two items of interest: 1. An "AL Talent Evaluator" sees Milwaukee as a possible trade destination for CC Sabathia, along with the usual suspects. The Red Sox, too, will consider Sabathia, but several executives say the Cubs might be the most serious suitor in attempts to strengthen their run at a first title in a century. "And keep an eye on Milwaukee," an AL talent evaluator said. "They have a loaded Double-A team and are prioritizing a starting pitcher." My react: I've wondered if ...
