This could also be a smoke screen. If everyone in baseball knows we need a good pitcher, and if everyone in baseball also assumes we're almost tapped out on payroll, then they could screw us by asking for the moon in trades.
If we convince some of them that we might forget about trades and just buy Sanchez, maybe a team like the Mets tones down the asking price for Dickey.
