Padres become latest team to leak list of underwhelming players they would like to trade for Corey Kluber
Morning-ISH N&N for December 26, 2018
Yeah, there was no N&N this morning. Completely forgot about you guys. Easy to do on the night of December 25. There was no news, anyways. Baseball execs forgot about you guys wanting news, too.
But look at this steaming pile of crap that just appeared under the LGT tree:
Key question in Corey Kluber talks: Do #Indians prefer Manuel Margot, 24, from #Padres or Alex Verdugo, 22, from #Dodgers? If Cleveland trades its ace, the front office would like to address center field in the process. @MLBNetwork @MLB

Really? Seriously? In no world is either of these players an acceptable centerpiece in a package for Corey Kluber.
But the list of dreaming ballclubs has grown:
Corey Kluber trade talks are most intense with NL clubs now, sources say. #Padres, #Dodgers, #Phillies, #Brewers, #Reds involved to varying degrees. @MLBNetwork @MLB

Manny Margot? Hunter Renfroe? Austin Hedges? lolololololol. Offer real players, National League.
