MIL Journal-Sentinel: Pursuit of trade for Sabathia continues

Latest C.C. news…

The Milwaukee Brewers remained in hot pursuit Friday evening of Cleveland left-hander C.C. Sabathia, trying to close a deal that could send top prospect Matt LaPorta, minor-league third baseman Taylor Green and perhaps a third prospect to the Indians.

Reached late in the evening, Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said he did not have a deal in place for Sabathia. Melvin said it was his understanding that other teams were still trying to strike deals for Cleveland’s ace.

“Cleveland is in control of this, not us,” said Melvin… “But I don’t anticipate anything happening in the next couple of days.”
...
The Brewers were eager to complete a deal to fend off other clubs in the hunt for Sabathia, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, and get him in a Milwaukee uniform as soon as possible.

Several other highly rated prospects have been discussed during negotiations, but the Brewers were thought to be willing to do the deal for LaPorta, Green and another prospect. Class A Brevard County outfielder Lorenzo Cain might be that third player.

Sounds like the bad guy in a Miami Vice episode.

He IS lurking around the Florida State League...

Wasn't Phil Collins a bad guy in one of the episodes?
(and I think Sheena Easton popped up in a few)

Am I imagining things or didn't Doug let some situation like this get dragged out for the whole month of July in the past? I have a vague recollection.

Got a Richard Cain; close enough? And wasn't Dean Stockwell Charles Cain in the second Beverly Hills Cop?
