Is that an actual rumor or just some dude talking out of his ass--like us here?

Yeah I don't buy that. Why would the Yankees, who are an older team, trade their best young player for some good to decent pieces?

Edit: Cano is 30, didn't realize that. But still, I can't see them making that deal.

not sure but its according to MLB network. I know the yankees are trying to get younger because they have too much money into few players. Cano also had 1 year left on his deal i believe

[skinsfan_1215]

With everyone else we have to sign coming up soon I can't picture giving Cano a big deal after his contract is up after this year. That would be a ton to give up for a one year rental.

But... If they have visions of Rendon playing 2B in 2014 it could make sense.

I would be surprised if this was done without Cano committing to a long term deal with the Nats.

Maybe they're thinking Rendon/RZim to 1B in 2015 after the LaRoche deal is finished.

RCano at 2b would be huge. HUGE....

Um, we would be vastly overpaying in that trade.

The Nationals traded slugger Michael Morse to the Seattle Mariners in a three-way trade that netted them right-hander A.J. Cole, the pitching prospect who last winter served as the centerpiece of the trade that brought Gio Gonzalez from the Oakland A’s to the Nationals. The Mariners sent catcher John Jaso to the Oakland to complete the deal.

Well that was fast. They must love Cole

Nationals will get 2 more prospects in deal in addition to Cole

Ahh beat me to it. Supposedly one is "good" prospect

[STBonecrusher21]

Will be sad to see Morse go. Love that guy..

But love the bolstering of the pitching staff. Beast just seemed to be the odd man out.

He struggled a little when Oakland sent him to a higher level, but he's still only 20 years old. As you said, Rizzo must really like him.

[skinsfan_1215]

Bye Morse, love ya man, thank you for your time here.

[Warhead36]

Gonna miss ya DC Beast.

But Rizzo is the man. Trades a scrub to get Morse, then trades him back for prospects.

So there's another name in Treinen. Just waiting on the player to be named later.
