The NY Daily News is reporting a four team proposed blockbuster, although it's not complete.
When the dust settles, the players should end up on these teams:
Mets: Manny Ramirez, Danys Baez
Red Sox: Miguel Tejada, Joey Gathright
Orioles: Julio Lugo, Matt Clement, and maybe Kris Benson
Devil Rays: Andy Marte, Jae Seo, Aaron Heilman, Kazuo Matsui
Anna Benson looks like the big loser here. Everyone else appears to benefit, with the Red Sox getting a slight edge (based on my perception that Gathright is such a disruptive presence on the basepaths, and such a defensive whiz that his value is underrated by sabre-metrics.)
Thus, it'll never happen. Somebody has to screw up these Manny and Miguel trades, right?
