In a bold move designed to end the club’s 26-year playoff drought, the Milwaukee Brewers agreed in principle Sunday night to acquire Cleveland left-handed pitcher C.C. Sabathia in exchange for top prospect Matt LaPorta and three other minor-leaguers.
re: They got a very good pitcher and the Sheets/Sabathia tandem will be unbeatable in the playoffs. For the long term, you can’t expect Sheets and Sabathia to keep up their high level of production and for the short term their performance won’t matter if guys like Hardy (who’s recently caught fire) and Prince Fielder continue to randomly slump.
It’s definitely a young team of hitters. If the Rockies last year were any indication, if all those young hitters get hot at the right time, they can be dangerous. Sabathia would be just icing on the cake.

Can the Brewers Keep Both Aces Next Year? Rumor has it both Sheets and Sabathia might sign with different clubs next year. It looks like Milwaukee is making an “all-in” move to make the World Series this year and this year only.
