Rumor in NY is that..

they might be trading for Tori Hunter, and we're talking the Yankees, not the Mets.

Good, keep him away from the Cubs.

Who are we talking to the Yankees about? ARod, I assume?

From the Star Tribune

 

There isn't any doubt that the New York Yankees would have interest in trading for Twins center fielder Torii Hunter. But the only player on the Yankees roster the Twins could afford and might be accepted by them in exchange for Hunter would be young second baseman Robinson Cano, and he isn't available.

 

Not much new news, but is there an opportunity for Hendry to insert himself as a middle man here? If he's so set in going another direction at 2B, what kind of interest would Minny have in Walker? What could the Cubs look for from NY or Minnesota? I've said it before, but I have a strange feeling that Soriano may be the Cubs 2B next year (not that it is what I'd do necessarily). Thoughts?

 

 

Edit: because I'm dumb.

The Cubs would trade Walker for whom (I'll take Mauer)? I would assume the Cubs would want someone from the Twins. In addition Walker already played for the Twins and hated Tom Kelly. I can't see him wanting to go back to Minn. He may like the Yankees though. But I don't know if the Yankees have anything the Cubs want.

Is Tom Kelly in the front office for the Twins? I imagine Walker wouldn't have any issues with playing for current manager Ron Gardenhire given his successful record....

Kelly is still in the front office as an advisor. Walker blames him for the knock on his defense among other things. Regardless, he has no say in who he would get traded to. I wasn't thinking well when I made that post. It was not clearly thought out. I am still wondering who the Cubs would want from the Yankees given that I guess that Walker would be traded for Hunter.
