Rumor of the Day: What the Indians want

While we generally shy away from posting the endless speculation about potential trade requests, this one is too good to pass up.

As Chris at iYankees said, a trade involving either of those two would defeat the purpose of acquiring a replacement for Chien-Ming Wang. That Mark Shapiro, he’s quite the joker.
