Trade Rumour - from Mike and Mike this morning, apparently the ChiSox general manager Ken Williams has been on the phone with Yankee GM Brian Cashman nonstop discussing a deal as follows (even though papers are saying Cashman has said no dice to some of these):
1.) Yankees Get: Joe Crede (3B), Freddy Garcia (P) OR Javier Vasquez (P) OR Mark Buerhle (P).
3.) Yankees Get: Josh Fields (AAA Prospect 3B), Freddy Garcia (P) OR Javier Vasquez (P) OR Mark Buerhle (P).
White Sox Get: Alex Rodriguez, cash.

I'd most like to see deal #3, and get either Buerhle or Garcia to go with our new 3B prospect. Fields looks to be solid, and the Yankees need that youth movement. McCarthy seems decent, but with Proctor and Villone, do we really need more middle relief? Maybe.
Either way, I'm glad to see that teams are interested in A-Rod. It's just a matter of picking the right partner with whom to dance.
