GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Trade talks that would send Mike Cameron to the Yankees and Melky Cabrera to the Brewers were moving along swimmingly yesterday until the Yankees insisted the Brewers pay a portion of Cameron's $10 million salary. Objectively speaking, it makes sense: the Yankees are giving up a 24-year-old hitter with potential for a guy who turns 36 next month who's almost certainly going to be a one-year rental. Long-term, there's no question the Brewers are getting the better end of the deal, so asking Milwaukee to chip in a few dollars doesn't seem unreasonable.
That said, it's the freaking Yankees! After doling out $161 million for CC Sabathia (dashing Milwaukee's hopes in the process), arguing about a few dollars now seems insulting. It's kind of like a yard sale: everyone is expected to haggle a little bit, but if you pull up in a Lexus and can only pay with hundred dollar bills, you're paying full price.
As it happens, it seems the Yankees finally came around: talks eventually picked back up yesterday afternoon via phone and ended with Brian Cashman and Doug Melvin agreeing to resume talks today.
