“Hey, would you like to trade me a good relief pitcher for my struggling relief pitcher who is one blown save away from having fans egg his house?” “Keep talking!”

WFAN in its heyday would have callers offering the Yanks worst player for Griffey Jr. "Why would Seattle say no?"

"We can throw in Future Considerations if that gets this deal over the goal line. Or over the fence, I suppose, this being baseball and we have our own metaphors."

I was never a sports talk listener so mostly was exposed to it through a local post game call in show. “Have the A’s considered trading four prospects and a Del Taco gift card for this year’s likely MVP?” every night.

Exactly! And everybody wants to trade prospects, when this year’s prospect is next year’s rookie!

We were talking at the stadium today about whether the Yankees will “Sell!!!!” if Judge is down for the count

Yankees fans are particularly bad with this--like they have a birthright to any other player, and of course other teams will simply accede. In 2012, a buddy of mine was convinced they could offer Raul Ibanez and a reliever to Anaheim and get Mike Trout--who was in the midst of a career season

As a Yankee fan, I resent this. Most of us are normal, our idiots are just more prevalent and louder.

BUT...Raul Ibanez and a reliever for Mike Trout is bananapants on a level most fans won't ever achieve

Yes that’s fucking insane. That being said I was at the Ibañez walkoff homer playoff game and it rocked.
