he first signifi cant Alex Rodriguez rumor of the offseason was thrown out in the past 36 hours and the suggestion here is that you do the same: Throw it out.

ESPN reported that Lou Piniella, new manager of the Cubs, wants to reunite with his former Seattle pupil. And while that may be true, it also is probably true that Piniella wants Scott Kazmir and Carl Crawford from his last managerial stop in Tampa Bay, as well.

There is a difference between wanting to obtain someone and having a realistic chance at that player, and I cannot see a realistic possibility in which the Cubs land A-Rod, unless there is a third team involved, and maybe not even then. But more on that later. The more important factor is that this is just the beginning of what is going to be the most popular game of the offseason: Dial-an-A-Rod rumor.

The Yankees trade A-Rod it will be the biggest mistake of their lives. A-Rod will then be on the Cubs have 50 HR's 140 RBI's and lead the Cubs to a World Series title.

A world series title for the cubs? Ack!

It won't be a mistage if they actually get good value back. I'm sure exactly what Cashman wants, but i'm sure the Yanks would welcome Hill with open arms.

I highly doubt the Cubs are going to get all of those players if any. I think they would have a serious contending team though if that is who they got.

As long as the Cubs throw in Felix Pie, I'll gladly give up A-Rod. Hell' I'll drive him to Wrigley myself.

Like I said this could be the biggest mistake the Yankees ever make if they don't get value for him.
