San Francisco Giants receive: OF Carlos Beltran and cash
New York Mets receive: SP Zach Wheeler

Needless to say, both teams accomplished their goals with this deal. The Mets landed a top tier prospect and the Giants acquired an impact bat for the lineup. Sure, there's risk for San Fran. It's most likely a rental. Beltran has a history of injuries. He could go on a disastrous cold spell. Any of which are possible. Or, he could ...

It's not a matter of how possible a deal to be made, is, but rather what would look good and make a great deal of sense. And because we like fun.



CL Heath Bell: St. Louis Cardinals
It's been a season long adventure. Franklin finally crashed, burned, and was released. They have several power arms, but no one has really taken a strong hold of the role. As funny as it would be to see Jason Isringhausen return to the Cards, getting Bell would push Salas, Boggs, Motte, ...

2. Jim Leyland- 2 and a half SPs, ...

By now, most teams have played anywhere between 80-85 games. We're halfway through a pretty interesting season. That means it's time for the mid-season awards. Marv Albert just went YEEES! We count down from 5 to winner.


N.L. Awards

Manager of the Year:
5. Fredi Gonzalez- More proof the Marlins front office sucks
4. Tony La Russa- Give him a bag of nickles to manage, and they could be a .500 team
3. Terry Collins- The Mets sorta matter. That's big ...

We enjoy trade rumors, we love exploring hypothetical trades, and we urge our favorite teams with all our might to pursue certain players. As it turns, out, these things rarely end up happening. But it never stops us from pretending...


Seattle: SS Jose Reyes
Safeco tends to be unfriendly for power, but Reyes' skill set is not based on power. It's speed, energy, and the flare for the dramatic. Reyes would be a constant spark in the lineup regardless of where you batted ...
