Article from the Cleveland Plain Dealer "If the Milwaukee Brewers sweeten the deal for C.C. Sabathia today or tomorrow, the reigning American League Cy Young winner should be making his next start for them on Tuesday. The Brewers have already agreed to give up outfielder Matt LaPorta, who could be playing left field for the Indians by midseason next year. The Indians, however, want an upgrade from the two other prospects they've been offered for Sabathia. It's not known who those two prospects are, but if the Indians can get either Class A third baseman Taylor Green or Class AA outfielder Michael Brantley, LaPorta's teammate at Class AA Huntsville, as the second player in the trade, it seems a deal could be struck. The Indians would also get a third player. Right now it's a four-team race for Sabathia with the Brewers leading the way followed by the Dodgers, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay. If the Dodgers can improve on their center piece to the trade, they might land the 6-7 left-hander. Right now, the Indians like the second and third players the Dodgers have offered more than auxiliary pieces they've been offered from the Brewers. The Phillies, who think Sabathia can pitch them deep into the postseason this year, are offering several prospects, but they're all in the lower minors. Among the players the Phillies are offering are second baseman Adrian Cardenas and left-hander Antonio Bastardo. The Devil Rays have several prospects that interest the Indians, but they have not jumped into the bidding with gusto. They do have a scout watching the Indians play the Twins."
