Ugh. So we're at that point in the offseason now. Ken Rosenthal shares some speculative trade ideas involving Albert Pujols. Buckle in kids, this is going to be a bumpy ride.
"WARNING: What you are about to read is pure speculation. It has not, to my knowledge, been discussed at any level. In fact, it is not even my idea.
Harold Reynolds mentioned the possibility Monday on MLB Network. My colleague, Jon Paul Morosi, informed me of it later that night. I then stole the idea from Morosi as if I were Lindsay Lohan in a jewelry store.
Albert Pujols for Mark Teixeira.
And, if that doesn’t work, Pujols for Ryan Howard.
Think it’s nuts? Think again."Yeah, you're certifiably nuts. First of all, you made the mistake of actually taking anything Harold Reynolds says seriously. Come on, Ken, you're smarter than that. Reynolds? These are the kinds of inane ideas you expect out of him. Hence the reason he's been employed as a TV analyst for ESPN and MLB Network.
Secondly, neither one of the aforementioned trade proposals, nor the ones he later proposes involving Miguel Cabrera or Adrian Gonzalez, are plausible. There are just way too many moving parts involved to make this happen. Yeah, it's fun to speculate, and I'm sure he's just bored out of his mind, but still. If we're going to speculate, shouldn't we speculate intelligently?
