It keeps sounding more and more like this deal is getting done, although I've heard they make just get rid of Atlanta's part of the deal altogether and just make it a clean Cabrera for Gonzalez trade.

I'm actually a bit disappointed. I'd rather keep Melky than trade him away. I think his bat could be improved, and the Yanks will regret this trade 5 years from now. Jose Tabata is projected to be an MLB All-Star, no doubt, but Damon and Matsui won't be playing forever, and Abreu is right behind them.

If we could resign Villone, and utilize Myers more, I'm not so sure we need to trade for Gonzalez, even if he is near-closer quality.
