Okay, so were going to trade him to the Expos?

Nah... I think the Cardinals are a perfect match once they decide to throw their cards into the mix no pun intended

I changed the name of my username b/c I'm afraid it was jinxing the real Jeremy Sowers so I'm trying this out for a while and see if his luck can improve.

From MLBTR.com   

* Ken Davidoff has a nice summary of the situation, agreeing with Buster Olney's suggestion that the Brewers have the best mix of means and motivation to acquire Sabathia.  Olney's handicap yesterday ranked the Rays, Red Sox, Dodgers, and Cubs behind the Brewers (in that order).
    * Brewers GM Doug Melvin calls the speculation "just the same old rumors."  Still, Melvin would consider moving prospects for a rental and notes that his stacked Double A club has been popular with other clubs.
    * Yankees GM Brian Cashman does not sound like someone who plans to go all-in to get Sabathia.  Gammons says they've "lurked."
    * On the topic of the Cubs, ESPN's Peter Gammons writes, "They doubt they have enough to get Sabathia, although Hendry constantly touches base with Indians GM Mark Shapiro."  Regardless, Gammons expects the Indians to move quickly on Sabathia.
    * Gammons says the Rangers are out but the Phillies "shouldn't be overlooked."  The Rays?  They've lurked.

Nothing new I'll do a little research on the Brewers Farm and do a little write up on what we could get

Brewers have a good system. 

We're in a great situation if the bartering teams are the Brewers, Cards and Rays.   Looks like we could have half the NL Central looking at CC.   

Getting some of the Rays players would be great!

From MLBTR.com

* Indians GM Mark Shapiro said yesterday "it's pretty obvious" that his team is in sell mode.  There's no new information on the team's reported attempt to sign Sabathia to an extension before actively shopping him.
    * The Phillies have scouted both Sabathia and Erik Bedard in recent weeks. The Mariners attempted to observe Phils prospect Carlos Carrasco last night, but he was scratched with shoulder stiffness.  With Brett Myers in the minors, GM Pat Gillick is trying not to look desperate.
    * Yesterday ESPN's Buster Olney heard that the Rays and Red Sox "essentially have no interest in completing a trade for Sabathia, because of other concerns."

It's too bad the Phillies have nothing to offer except Carlos Carrasco

That sucks the Rays are out.  I bet the Rays go for a closer (ala Billy Wagner). 

Looks like the CC sweepstakes could be a bidding war of NL Central teams.
