Does trading Pujols make any sense?
March 19, 2010Just when you thought the hot stove league was over, along comes a juicy rumor involving a mega-trade of superstars Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard. Never mind that the rumor has been overblown and that all parties have denied it. After all, Buster Olney's report simply stated that the Phillies have had "internal discussions" about trading for Pujols. I can't be sure, but I'd guess that a lot of teams over the years have probably tried thinking about ways of acquiring the game's best player. That doesn't mean that a trade is happening. Still, as a fan, I love these types of rumors, and nothing captures the imagination quite like a trade involving two of the most beloved home run hitters of a generation. Thinking about these types of trades is fun, even if, like this one, it's pure fantasy.
