These are potential trades I have made up based off an article I read on espn, if you dont like your teams rumor, well too bad I don't give a fuck.
The Detroit Tigers Trade Prince Fielder and NYY 2015 1st to the Miami Marlins for Chris Davis Brandon Phillips and Jason Hammel
Analysis - Ya Ya Ya I know, Alex has said he wont trade the NYY 1st, but does he really have a choice if he gets an offer to put him as the favorite in the AL Central. He gains an equivalent but healthy return in the swap of Fielder for Davis as well as upgrading to a top 2B and Phillips. Although Hammel is just a rental it is another position of need for the Tigers because of injuries. The fading marlins get a top ticket and chance at the phenom Daz for a pretty decent price.

The Baltimore Orioles trade Mashahiro Tanaka and Ben Revere to the Texas Rangers for Carlos Gomez
Analysis - I know what most of you are thinking, "Hey forbz you just want Jeff to deal Tanaka because you hate him", but no. This trade makes a ton of sense for both sides. Jeff gets a star CF to help his run this year which he has a small window to do so with Jimmy's team on the rise, trading Tanaka now while he could be out for a long time could save Jeff's season. Bill is in dire need of SP help and wont have Tanaka till he is back healthy next year. With Tanaka on a 5 year deal, he could anchor Bills staff for a long time while getting a decent speed guy in return for the beast the is Carlos Gomez.

The Chicago Cubs trade Archie Bradley Gary Sanchez and Casey Gillespie to the Milwaukee Brewers for Jose Abreu with the Brewers paying 18M in 2016 on Abreu
Analysis - We all know the Cubs will not break open the prospect vault..... most of the time. He has brought in Cargo and Price so we know it can happen, and lets face it, JT and Psych are in a bigger arms race than the Pats and Broncos. He gives up a hard piece for psych to lose in Bradley, but i think he can live with losing Gillespie and Sanchez for the only reason that his farm and current team is so good. Abreu brings in a big time power bat to put the Cubs over the top and out of reach for JT unless he willing to unload another big chunk of his farm. The other piece that makes this trade possible is Abreu being paid for in 2016, a free Abreu for 3 years is nothing to sneeze at it something Psych would definitely hold out on. For the Brewers side, he gains three great prospects and with Sanchez and Bradley he lay the foundation of his team moving forward. It would be very hard for Nick to find a better offer in this ODC economy.

The Washington Nationals trade Steven Strasburg to the Minnesota Twins and Justin Morneau and Ian Kennedy to the White Sox, the Minnesota Twins trade Chris Archer and John Lackey to the White Sox, the White Sox trade Giancarlo Stanton to the Washinton Nationals
Analysis - So essentially after breaking this down Mike decided to not shut off his computer after constant irritation from Bryan asking about Stanton, and a deal was made. Mike obviously gets a big return for Stanton by receiving Lackey, Archer, Kennedy, and Morneau. This gives mike a great rebuild of his torn down pitching staff, and a nice DH replacement while keeping J-UP in RF.Twins gets great return for his pitching depth in receiving Strasburg to anchor his staff with Cain and Shark. Bryan finally gets his guy in Stanton to pair with Miggy allowing him to brag about the best 1-2 hitting punch in the league.
