29 or not, I'd have a very hard time trading a guy sailing into his prime with a good glove and an ever-improving bat and a great face for your franchise.

Let me put it this way, somebody would REALLY have to to blow me away to convince me.  It would kill me to see him go somewhere else and be an MVP.

All the rest, yes, without a doubt.

I believe Frazier is worth more here than what you get in return.
