What could the Cavs get for ‘Tawn? ”Most good teams don’t have $10 million worth of talent they’re willing to give up. And if they do, they’re the type of players the Cavs have little to no interest in acquiring. A Jamison deal would then require a third (or fourth) team to make the math work, with the likeliest candidates being sad-sack teams with a lot of cap room and a willingness to rent it out if they can grab a draft pick and/or cash in the process. There’s also a chance that Cleveland, which has about $5.5 million in cap room, could work its way into a supporting role in a Carmelo Anthony trade, in which case almost anything is possible. So we came up with a list of potential suitors for Jamison, just for the heck of it. Unfortunately for the Cavs, most contenders/playoff teams have little need for a player in Jamison’s mold.” [Zach Lowe/Sports Illustrated]
The needle has barely moved with Tribe fans this morning in regards to first basemen 
I stayed up to watch the Tribe out on the west coast last night and it was an impressive display of baseball. The Tribe bats were raking and Eric Wedge received a strong performance from starter Aaron Laffey and a steady 2 innings of relief from the bullpen. If you watched last night’s game in a vacuum, you might actually think the Tribe is a talented club in the middle of a successful year. The dugout was loose and everyone was enjoying themselves during this blowout which came on the heels of a series win in Toronto. The Tribe is actually out of the AL Central cellar due to a KC 10 game losing streak. Unfortunately, it was 1 of 162 and even clubs like the Indians and Nationals have games like this every now and then.
