Indians ready to shop Sabathia?

A painful swing by the Indians' Victor Martinez on Wednesday could have significant ramifications for the Yankees. An elbow injury to Martinez all but ended the Indians' flickering playoff hopes, and will probably lead to a trade of the ace left-hander C. C. Sabathia. If Sabathia is on the trade market, the Yankees will have strong interest. the Indians would ask for a lot, and teams like the Cubs and the Red Sox may also have interest. But because they trail in the standings, the Yankees theoretically would have the greatest need.

maybe the angels or dodgers?

The Indians are not whole. They fell into their good season and had their window shut in their faces. Sabathia will be traded because he has some value and they will be beggin for his game.

Sabathia to Atlanta or Philly.

We will take him in New York and give Cleveland Kennedy, Pavano and a minor leaguer.

I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next
door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.
Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied,
'It was an ID ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T
error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Eric grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?'

'No,' I replied.

'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T

I used to like Eric.............

LOL.

No Sabathia. We don't need him.

Looks like Mr. Cashman miscalculated this off-season. I always say to trade the future for the now. Hmm, I am a White Sox fan so that is nothing new to me.

Listen- if Detroit can tear 3 straight from the ChiSux and the Indians can do the same, why should they already be counted out? Still alot of time in baseball and especially alot in the AL Central with the way the ChiSux can go on losing streaks...

sabathia being shopped? anybody want an overbloated, overhyped, pitcher with a losing record? what's he being shopped for? a pack of big league chew, 2 cans of skoal, and some pemican?

June 13, 2008  08:27 AM ET

Ugh. This place will be overrun by giddy Celtic fans tomorrow. Can't wait.

Boy I am a diehard Yankee fan but you put CC with Joba and we got some serious girth going on. I do think he would be a nice addition.

yea dont those pin stripes have a wieght limit

Now that Martinez is having surgery, it will be awfully difficult for the Tribe to contend. Same for my Tigers. In April I purchased all 3 Tiger/Indian games in Cleveland for a road trip that promised to mean something. It looks like me and the Indian fans will have each others' shoulders to cry on!
