Cameron-Cabrera trade looks like it will get done

The Brewers and Yankees are still in serious discussions about swapping center fielders Melky Cabrera and Mike Cameron.  Originally, the negotiations came to halt because the Yanks wanted Milwaukee to pay some of Cameron's 10 million dollar salary in 09'.  The Brewers thought this to be somewhat of an outrageous request seeing how the Yanks just gave Sabathia 61 million dollars more than they were willing to give.  But it looks like things are progressing, and the two teams will eventually strike a deal.  Cameron would provide the Yanks with a veteran, gold glove presence in center field.  He has some pop.  He hit 25 long balls last year, as appose to Melky's disappointing 8.  It isn't a major upgrade, but it's clear the Yanks have had enough with Melky, and want to seperate him from Cano.
