'phunwin said:There is no flippin' way that A-Rod will be traded. None. Zero. I can't believe I'm going to waste valuable minutes of my life writing about this.
I will add, however, that on the slim chance this might actually happen, getting A-Rod and Cabrera for Abreu, Burrell, Bell and Gordon would be grand theft by the Phillies. Bell's nothing special, Gordon's ancient and poised for a steep decline (particularly if he goes back to the AL), Burrell's awful and is getting paid very well to be awful, and Abreu's a good corner outfielder, but he's also 33 and his power is declining.
AROD isn't going to approve any trades anyway. But the Philly one is laughable on all levels. Gordon is old. Burrell is old and broken down. David Bell? Please. Abreu is fine, but since the other 3 guys are so bad it wouldn't happen.
IF something were to happen (.0003% chance). I could see a Vlad/Santana for Arod or something on that level. But with all of the "no trade clauses" its almost impossible to pull off.
