Brian Cashman's quest to rebuild the Yankees begins today in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is being speculated that Cashman will meet with C.C. Sabathia in a sit-down meeting either today or tomorrow. The general consensus in Yankee land is that it's only a matter of time, but some nervous-nellies in the media caution against such confidence. Whatever. Wake me up when you've got something besides an opinion. The random rumor mill is also spinning wildly away. Apparently we're interested in Raul Ibanez now. Great, it makes perfect sense to go after a 36 year old outfielder. Oh, did I mention signing him would cost a draft pick. I'm not even going to link this one. It's ridiculous.
With the Brewers facing the possibility of losing both Sabathia and Ben Sheets this winter, expect to see a renewed interest in Mike Cameron this week. This move was rumored way back when the Yankees first offered Sabathia that 140 million dollar deal, that was 1989, I believe... (Kidding! But the way some Yankee fans and writers are looking at you'd think this was the case. I quote the immortal Axl Rose when I say "All we need is just a little patience".) Anyway, Cameron is apparently a good chum of Sabathia's and may make the move to New York a little more appealing. I'm guessing it's a black thing.
That's all for now. The stupid time difference is going to make this a little difficult. Everyone's still sleeping off the after parties from the big fight last night. Poor Oscar. It's never fun watching an elite athelete come to terms with his career. I digress. Enjoy the NFL today!
