In case you have not yet heard, various sources are reporting that C.C. Sabathia will be introduced as the newest Milwaukee Brewer tomorrow morning. The Brewers have apparently agreed to trade highly touted prospect Matt LaPorta, along with three other players. Tom Haudricourt is reporting that two of the other players might be Zach Jackson and Rob Bryson.
Haudricourt also reports that Sabathia should start for Milwaukee this Tuesday against the Rockies at Miller Park.
I'm sure most Brewer fans are pretty psyched right now, especially because the team has been doing so well lately. The addition of Sabathia will hopefully strengthen the starting rotation and provide less pressure on the Brewers bullpen (which has been spotty at times this season).
The Sabathia trade also puts a lot of pressure on the cubs, who hold a slim 3 1/2 game lead over the Brewers.

As long as the "player to be named later" isn't one of the top prospects, I'm ok with the trade. We just better friggin make the playoffs. I agree with BS earlier post about acquiring Brian Roberts. Imagine if Hardy and Braun could be hitting all these home runs with someone consistently on base.
