We'll have one of these each day, to act as a general open forum for discussions, rumors and chit-chat, so feel free to dump anything of interest in here [preferably from the original source, rather than second-hand links like MLB Trade Rumors] As and when anything of particular momentum appears, that will get spun off into it's own story for particular discussion, but treat this, I guess, as a cross between Snake Bytes and a Gameday Thread, in terms of comment and chit-chat.
Note that this isn't strictly limited to D-backs news, because it will be interesting to see how the Giants and Dodgers respond, to having their Christmas pony yanked out of the stable.
