Although, it might cast the club into some tight financial situations ... what a shot of adrenaline it would be for the Cincy ballclub, fans, and media.
If that doesn't work, then I put the following offers on the table:
EdE, Bailey/Cueto, Janish, Bray to A's for Haren
Hamilton, Maloney, Pelland, Guevarra, Stubbs to O's for Bedard
We could have both of those guys for less than what Santana would cost and probably have a better winning record to show for it.
It would be awesome if we could go into the season w/ our projected #2 (Arroyo) moved down to our #4 because our rotation has gotten that much better :-)
