1. Trade Sabbathia to Texas for a package containing Profar, Olt and prospects. We get our future 3B and SS. Texas gets the ace they have been looking for to replace Cliff Lee and take a shot at a WS title. Sabbathia was great, but not necessary if we are not in a position to make a run.
2. Trade Granderson to Seattle and get some prospects. They have the best farm system in the league. Grandy gives them a little more offense. We get more pieces. No way we can re-sign him any way and he's on the wrong side of 30.
3. Trade Cano to the Marlins for Stanton. Add a prospect or two if necessary. We get a stud to re-build around. They get to swap Cano for a ton of prospects at the trade deadline. Crazy for the Marlins to trade Stanton, but he's unhappy and is going to be a problem. They get a latin american superstar to pacify the fans.
4. Send Tex to Washington for prospects. They lost LaRoach and need a solid 1B and power hitter to make a couple of runs.
5. Explore the price of David Price and/or Justin Upton in terms of prospects and only make a deal if it makes sense.
HOW MANY GOD DAMN TIMES YOU GUYS NEED TO BE REMINDED THAT NO TRADE CLAUSES EXIST AND CAN'T JUST BE IGNORED OR WORKED AROUND!!!!!!!!
come on guys, tex, cc, arod, arent going anywhere
