The outcomes of these major trades of late have sided so strongly with the teams unloading the high salary that teams are going to stay far far away from those deals going forward, IMO. Look at how badly the Angels have hurt themselves with trades over the last couple of years; they're the most obvious example. Starting with the Texiera trade, you'd be hard pressed to find a major 'vet for prospects' deal where the prospects side of the trade didn't absolutely annihilate the vet side in terms of value and raw production. Holliday may be the best example.

I'm not saying that I have done this, but just for the other viewers out there:
Has anyone actually watched a baseball game from beginning to end? |

Are you that worried about Cargo and Nolan Arrenado? Because that's about all they have left. It's still a stupid deal, don't get me wrong. But the Rockies would still be largely irrelevant. It underscores why I don't think a Tulo deal's gonna get made. That deal would infuriate the fanbase and yet they'd still likely struggle to reach 85 wins. If that happens, the fans will just remain angry. Businessmen aren't likely to do that. Rebuilding by trading fan favorites - 'face of the franchise' type guys - is extremely difficult for that very reason.

Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News reports that the Yankees are talking to the Cardinals about a trade for third baseman David Freese.
Freese will only get more expensive as he continues to go through the arbitration process and the Cardinals have the ability to move Matt Carpenter to third base and play Kolten Wong at second base, so it's no surprise to hear about the possibility of a trade. The 30-year-old is coming off a down year in which he hit .262/.340/.381 with nine homers and 60 RBI over 521 plate appearances, but he would be a solid backup plan for Alex Rodriguez |

Yeah, I figured Cervelli as a legitimate backup to Yadi would probably be about what we'd be able to get for Freese.
May be better served to hold onto him and see if he bounces back. Moving Carpenter to 3b significantly diminishes his value, especially if (when) he doesn't have a .360 BABIP in 2014.

If we are only going to get Shumaker trade value, keep him for one more year as a pinch hitter and insurance in case Wong doesn't pan out.

cbssports.com is saying that JJ Hardy for Miller was offered to the Cardinals. Mo had the good sense to turn that down.
