Y'all have no idea how tempting it is sometimes to make up the most insane rumor and post it here just to see the reactions that follow
What's stopping you?
The #Padres are listening to trade offers on SP Dylan Cease, INF Luis Arraez, and INF Xander Bogaerts, per @JonHeyman pic.twitter.com/ymzvnG5Wj2

No one on earth would want Xander with his contract. Probably the worst in all of baseball.
The Pirates are “open to the idea” of trading Mitch Keller and Jared Jones is reportedly “very available,” per @_NoahHiles and @AndrewDestin1 of @PittsburghPG pic.twitter.com/qOLDpwOYo6

Everyone sees how insane the market is and wants a piece of it
Being liable for someone having a stroke, heart attack or an considered an accessory to a crime based on that rumor. This board is a little nutslinkdude said:

No kidding. You would be a fool now to not investigate the chance to fleece someone with the buying frenzy.
BLACK FRIDAY DEALS FOR EVERYONE!

Would make for a great April fools day prank
Jeff Bagwell becoming full time GM after Crane unhappy with Brown would have been pretty believable
Trading Tucker to NY would be incredibly stupid imo.
Can confirm market for Alex Bregman is heating up, per source.

What a terrible trade.
We take on a terrible contract in Castellanos who can't play defense and get Bolm and 1 solid prospect or 1 good prospect. I would Dana would literally laugh in their face if that is offered.
.@RAJr_20 thinks the Phillies should pursue Astros OF Kyle Tucker 👀

No ****ing way on that PHI trade, especially with what's being rumored right now.
Yeah, that is laughable unless you are a Phillies homer.
Report: Tucker seen as more and more likely to be traded https://t.co/72L0zQFJIT

Right above the Tucker section, it says Alex probably is the next free agent to sign.
I guess the preference would be for a Tucker trade first. The Astros would then know where they stand in terms of payroll and roster. The decision on Bregman might be clearer, provided it does not involve $200+ million. Could be irrelevant either way.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.
In addition to Seiya Suzuki and Isaac Paredes, the Astros would like the Cubs to include one of their two most recent No. 1 draft choices — either 3B Cam Smith or SS Matt Shaw https://t.co/imQdC0ZqAZ

I could go with this. Would the Cubs?

Please happen. Even if it's a lesser prospect I do this deal.

Based on Baseball Trade Value this trade is almost even.
Tucker - 31.4
$$ - 15.8 (estimated)
Suzuki - 1.2
Parades - 28.8
$$ - 25.9
This would eat up our remaining $ to stay under the tax. I think Dana is fair to ask for more.

I'm good with that haul for Tucker
Although it'll suck to see him gone… that's a good haul

Why it would likely be paired with a Pressly move down the line. How many years left on Parades' deal?
Matt Shaw is the #2 rated 3B prospect in baseball and #22 overall.
Cam Smith is the #5 rated 3B prospect in baseball and #73 overall.
No way the Cubs do that with Suzuki and Paredes already in the mix.

Because that deal hasn't been done yet? 3 left all arb.linkdude said:

The Chicago Cubs were reluctant to trade both Seiya Suzuki and Isaac Paredes with the additional prospects for Kyle Tucker earlier in the day. Talks have been ongoing throughout the day with the Cubs pushing hard to try and make a deal happen before the end of the meetings.

Would LOVE the deal, but I think that's way too much for the Cubs to give up for essentially a 1 year rental (unless some extension is involved).
Right I forgot Suzuki was on the contract, for some reason I thought Parades had signed an extension. He's still in arb, nice.

the mega-contracts go sour so quickly and so often

True but the moment that deal was inked everyone knew it wasn't great. It just aged like milk extremely quickly.
