Make the deal for Sabathia

The MLB trading deadline is 26 days from now on July 31st.

Personally, I'm a little conflicted on the Brewers trading for the Indians' C.C. Sabathia. He'll be a free agent at season's end and looking for a similar deal the Mets gave Johan Santana...7 years, 137-million.

I'd REALLY love the deal if the Brewers could work out a contract with Sabathia before the trade is final, but there's no way they pay that price. So not only will the Brewers be renting Sabathia for 2+ months, they'll likely lose Ben Sheets to free agency as well.

On the flip side, you get Sabathia, and he solidifies your rotation for a playoff run that could end in the World Sseries. Is sabathia worth the risk?

I say go for it, take a chance now!

Because next year, as it stands (an off-season trade not withstanding), Jeff Suppan would be the Brewers' ace with no Sabathia or Sheets.

May as well have both aces for the stretch run now and worry about next year when it comes.

Absolutely go for Sabathia now, that is a no brainer. Milwaukee is a small market team that won't be able to hold alot of players like Sheets or Sabathia for next year. Go for it now like there is no tomorrow. That's the way it is in professional sports. By the way, where are the Yost haters now that the Brewers are in the playoff hunt ? They can go back to hating him next year when they lose all their key players to the big money teams.

This deal is huge! Let's see how it effects the rest of the team, either sparks them to a long winning streak or they get a little overconfident and relax thinking playoffs are in the bag and go into losing mode.
