From Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports:
I hope this means that Cash & Co. are content with the roster they have.Free-agent center fielder Mike Cameron has reached preliminary agreement with the Brewers on a one-year contract with a club option for 2009, according to major-league sources.
The deal is pending a physical.
The Yankees had aggressively pursued Cameron, but their decision to pass on him indicates that they are still considering a trade for Twins left-hander Johan Santana. They were not willing to absorb the salaries of both Cameron and Santana, sources say.
The Brewers had wanted a quick answer from Cameron, intending to pursue other free agents if he signed with another club. The Yankees were unwilling to abandon their pursuit of Santana in order to sign Cameron.
Another source, however, say the Yankees no longer are talking to the Twins about Santana and simply chose to keep their outfield intact rather than sign Cameron. Hank Steinbrenner has been vocal about the Yankees' quest for Santana but seemingly has backed off in his most recent public comments.
