Most every name mentioned in this thread(and there's been a number of them mentioned) have public rumors that they might be traded. This isn't a bunch of random 'well what if the Dodgers decided to trade Kershaw?' speculation. I know, that's all I'm asking. Just seems odd that cost-controlled, young pitching (which, not long ago, was a precious commodity) is something that is now being shopped around by multiple teams It happens every offseason, really. Off the top of my head, Heaney, Skaggs, Bauer, Cashner, Latos, Gio Gonzalez, & Shelby Miller were moved in offseason deals at young ages with multiple years of control left on their deals. I'm sure there's other examples I'm forgetting, but it's not really uncommon for a few of these guys to be included in deals every offseason, for various reasons.
