I like your thinking...a lot.

Trouble is, it seems so unlikely. How much would somebody give up to take on Jay and his contract? It's not ridiculously high, but it ain't chicken feed either. And, is he worth it? Can you count on him in a stretch run?

Votto's contract is high. Maybe you can move him. Teams do crazy things to try to make a run.

Cueto would be a rental for someone, but, man, what a rental he would be. Put him on a team that can score him some runs and the sky is the limit.

Love the idea of moving Mes to first.
