* According to my old pal Anthony Castrovince of MLB.com the Indians and Brewers have agreed upon a trade that will send C.C. Sabathia to Milwaukee for three prospects led by former Gators star Matt LaPorta. No surprise there, as the Brewers have been rumored to be leading the hunt for Sabathia for a while now.
* Word from the Rays this afternoon is that Vero Beach outfielder Desmond Jennings will undergo shoulder surgery Wednesday. Jennings, you may recall, hurt first his back and then his shoulder in spring training. He had returned to play 24 games for Vero, hitting .259 and posting a .360 OBP, but this procedure likely will end his season. Baseball America rated Jennings the Rays’ sixth-best prospect entering the year and had him 59th in their overall Top 100.
* In Cincinnati, Tampa’s own Elijah Dukes spoke to reporters earlier today after suffering a serious knee injury last night that led to him being carted off the field. Apparently the former Ray will be out 4-6 weeks.
* In New York, Johnny Damon has been placed on the 15-day DL as expected, so the Rays could conceivably see an outfield that includes both Brett Gardner and Justin Christian when they hit the Bronx in a couple days.

Thank you Rays for not going the Sabathia route, too much to give up for a rental. Wish Desmond luck in his recovery he’s a very promising prospect. To Hank and the Yanks, the Rays are coming…get ready to “Feel the Heat”
