Ken Rosenthal of FOX SPORTS.com has been all over the C.C. Sabathia trade rumors of late, reporting Friday that the Brewers were interested in the Indians’ ace. Now Rosenthal is saying the Dodgers are after Sabathia as well.

However, the Dodgers’ bid for Sabathia is complicated by their pursuit of Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson as a replacement for the injured Rafael Furcal, sources say.

To get Wilson, the Dodgers would need to trade the Pirates some of the same players that the Indians want for Sabathia, leaving Los Angeles with a choice of one deal or the other.

While the Dodgers might not offer a prospect better than Brewers Class AA left fielder Matt LaPorta, their proposal for Sabathia would include three players, sources say.

LaRoche are among the Dodgers’ prospects likely drawing consideration form the Indians.
But the addition of Wilson, 30, would fill the void created by the absence of Furcal, who will be out at least eight more weeks after undergoing back surgery.

If Rosenthal’s sources are right, it appears that the Brewers are offering the sweeter deal for Sabathia with LaPorta in the mix. It’ll be interesting to see if Furcal’s injury handcuffs the Dodgers’ chances of landing C.C.
