The Rumor Mill

WSCR and XM Radio's Larry Bowa both carry a NY Post report of a trade brewing between the Yankees and the Cubs. The particulars are Sergio Mitre, Jason DuBois and Korey for Gary Sheffield.

Where do I sign?

The financials are easy. Shef is in the books for $13 million per year through 2006. A 2007 option for $13 million also is in place, but I don't know who has the option (team, Shef, or mutual). Even if the Yanks gave the Cubs zero dollars back, with the Cubs clearling north of $30 million next year, this is aslam dunk deal.

How good would this lineup look?

Neifi
Walker
Lee
A-Ram
Shef
Burnitz
Barrett
Macias

Wanna make it a winner? Go get Kenny Lofton one more time and move Neifi to 8th.
