Just when you thought Mike Cameron was off the market, Joel Sherman and George King report:

Brewers officials have been asking around about Melky Cabrera, trying to determine why he struggled in 2008. The Yankees are willing to deal Cabrera and pitching to land Cameron. ...

Cabrera, Betemit and a pitcher is probably a package - combined with the savings Milwaukee would receive from moving Cameron's contract - that the Yanks would be willing to move for Cameron.

Couldn't you just see the Brewers walking the streets, calling out to random passerby, "Hey, you, do you know why Melky Cabrera struggled last year?"

"Quick, call your mother. We're running out of options!"
