Molony’s Latest: Sabathia, Teixeira, Lewis

MLB.com’s Jim Molony has a slew of hot stove info today.

• Molony talked to some "industry types" about C.C. Sabathia, and those guys suggested the Cubs and Angels could be the frontrunners.
• The Braves could opt for draft picks rather than a Mark Teixeira trade, even if they fall out of the race.  They’re only 4.5 games out though.
• A David Price promotion could lead the Rays to trade Jason Hammel, Edwin Jackson, or Andy Sonnanstine.  It’ll only work if Price is promoted before the trade deadline.
• The Cubs have scouted Giants outfielder Fred Lewis but aren’t too serious about it.
• The Marlins are still looking for a veteran catcher.  Here’s my take on the trade market at the position.
