Maybe if we paid the difference in salary? I guess that would depend on the Dodgers wanting Castillo and then having a replacement for Jones.

And that could be good news for the Dodgers. Quick trade Castillo for Jones right now. I would take Jones and Molina as our upgrades right now.

This is all smokescreen to turn up the heat on Texieria. They already have a surplus of corner outfielders and are set at DH as well. Plus, they're interested in Mike Cameron and even Bill Hall. Trust me, the Yankees are not shuffling their entire roster to get Manny. This Manny to Yankees talk is just all hoopla from Hankenstein to irate the Boston Red Soxs and their fan base. Yes, TRS86.

Getting Manny means Murphy wont play (as is), and a smart GM will see that means an unloading of Delgado so the kid can play. Which all means that we are in a position of weakness when it comes to the trade. if you do that, there is a specific order is MUST be done, AND you have to do it in on the sly.

Manny makes no sense for the Yankee's at all. If he does go there, however, I would be heading to the Yankee's and trying to get an OF on the cheap.

Manny is better than Delgado and makes up for the potential lose of offense with Murphy. However, you stick with Murphy and Delgado you have 2 question marks.
