Th winter meetings are just kicking off now. It's pretty exciting stuff. I know football is going on, and GW's rocking the heezy, but i'm still a baseball fan at heart. I can't wait for next season. Although i'm not too excited about all this trade sosa talk. Of all of the trade options i've heard, none are appealing to me. What i don't understand is why the cubs just don't suck it up, keep sosa for a year, and go after beltran. I mean, if sosa knows he's either A) a midseason trade prospect, or B) a free agent after next season, he's got no choice but to put up monster numbers to get the money he wants. So, keep him. Let us revel in his mercenary abilities. Why take on a guy like Cliff Floyd or Shawn Green, when there's good wood left in sosa's bats?
