Igawa's Contract Holding Up Cameron Trade
14th December, 2008 - 3:48 pm
New York Post - The Yankees and Brewers continue to negotiate over how much of the $12 million due to Kei Igawa for the next three seasons the Yankees must pay in order to complete the swap of Mike Cameron for Melky Cabrera.

The Brewers are moving Cameron and his $10 million salary in order to restock their pitching staff that lost Sabathia and likely will lose Ben Sheets.

Because the Yankees have told the Brewers they cannot have any of pitchers on their 40-man roster, Igawa is the best the Brewers can do.

Brewers asked for Phil Coke, Jose Veras and Mark Melancon and quickly were told no.

Each side expects the deal to get done eventually. [READ]
