December 10, 201312 yr Author Walt just said they are not trading Homer... Interesting....No clue how they afford him, but can't complain about keeping him.
December 10, 201312 yr The problem is, someone will sign them into their late 30's. So if you want them for their late 20's to early 30's you need to give them mid to late 30's as well.

December 11, 201312 yr The Reds wouldn't pay that for Choo if they had a $50M payroll for next year - and I am glad they wouldn't. Nothing against Choo. He is probably worth that annual salary next year. It is every year after next that would worry me.

But on a hunch I'd say Evan Longoria answers your last question.

December 12, 201312 yr Author Reds and Yanks are still in trade talks as of today. Where you see this? A buddy just texted me the same thing, and I can't find it anywhere.
