**** no. Go die.

Sheffield's future response:

"WHERE DA **** IS TORONTO. I AINT GONNA GO PLAY FOR NO TORONTO. **** THAT"

[love_that_reefer]

Sheffield is going nowhere.

[Halladay_is_God]

trust me Toronto doesn't want Sheffield either

The Jays giving up their best relief pitcher from last season, probably the best 2B in the AL (at least in fielding) and a upcoming 5 tool player in Rios for someone who wouldn't even want to play here

yeah great trade

[General]

Orlando Hudson isn't even top 5 on my list. And Rios is NOT a five tool player. Not even close.

I thought Torii Hunter was the captian of the Twins. Even if he isn't I can see them parting ways. You saw what happened to that team after he went down.

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I was the yanks, I love Sheff but he's getting older and we'd be a better team w/ the improvement in CF and in the pen. I don't think it will ever happen but i'd do it if it could be done.

I said upcoming 5 tool player, he's missing the power and hopefully that comes with more experience and training

I would do this in half a second if the Yankees could.

The Yanks would be big time winners in this deal. Twins would be the laughing stock of the deal.

WHAT?! Take it from a fan of their competition, when the Twins make a trade, they always come out the winner (see: Fransisco Liriano, Boof Bosner, and Joe Nathan for A.J. Pierzynski). The Twins would get a replacement CF who is projected to be one of the best and as has been said has all 5 tools but power, which are the kind of players they like, and a good defensive 2B who can hit (at least better than what they have now). The Yankees would also get good value in this deal, getting the CF they covet and a decent bullpen arm while dumping one of their bloated salaries. That leaves Toronto, who would be the actual laughingstock of this deal by giving up a decent pen arm and a good OF to get a bloated salary dumped on them. Not to mention an aging hitter who may have 2 good years left and will be upset the entire time he's in Toronto. Not a chance this happens if I'm the Blue Jays GM, but I pull the trigger if I'm the GM of either of the other 2 teams.
