DO IT. DO IT NOW.
As baseball enters the last weekend before the trade deadline on Sunday, the trade rumor mill is buzzing louder than ever. This morning, so-so pitchers Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea were dealt from the Padres to the Marlins in exchange for some pretty big names, including top prospect Josh Naylor and the rehabbing-but-overpowering Carter Capps. Yahoo’s Jeff Passan also said that the Phillies’ Jeremy Hellickson might fetch three or four prospects—it’s a seller’s market, and the barely-contending Yankees should really jump into it.
That last point rings particularly true with a new rumor about closer Andrew Miller and the Nationals.
