BREAKING from 2003 Winter Meetings: Yanks on verge of getting Kevin Brown from Dodgers


LOS ANGELES -- Kevin Brown is probably headed to New York, giving the Yankees a replacement for Andy Pettitte in their starting rotation and the Los Angeles Dodgers some financial flexibility.

The Yankees and Dodgers agreed to the outline of a tentative trade Thursday, with Brown going to the Yankees for right-hander Jeff Weaver, two minor leaguers and $3 million, two baseball officials said on condition of anonymity.

Brown, who has the right to block a trade, must approve any deal and has not yet been asked about it, agent Scott Boras said.

All players must pass physicals, and the Yankees want to review Brown's contract before signing off on the swap, the officials said.
