It's a lot easier for us to not be concerned with helping build a division rival than it is for an MLB GM, and to be totally honest I'm usually of the 'don't worry about trading within the division, just worry about building your team' opinion, but I think there's something to be said for people who are concerned with not helping the direct competition improve themselves. In a black and white world, in which the GM's team is definitely not contending for x number of years, then yeah, it's easy to say he shouldn't be concerned with improving his divisional rivals, but we don't live in such a black and white world.

They won't get that type of talent from anyone else combined with the extension. Boston would love to be in on it but they have to take care of Beckett first. The thing really comes down to this. Does the Yankee FO think Joba is a front of the rotation starter or not? If there are doubts about him they have to trade him now while his value is high.
