Trading the face of the franchise

By Tangotiger, 10:55 AM

Dave Cameron gives us 4 names to consider. 

Ever since Wayne Gretzky was traded at the prime of his career (already racked up 8 MVP’s in 9 years!, and he earned another MVP his first year), there is no such thing as an untouchable.  Dave’s list are player’s past their prime, or yet to achieve their peak.  So, while at first it may seem impossible to trade Ortiz, doing that is nothing compared to more celebrated trades.
