Proballnw.com took hold of Bob Nightengale’s tweet that the Tigers, the Mariners and a mystery third team were in talks of a deal that would include Edwin Jackson and Brandon Morrow.  And, they inserted the Rays as that mystery third team.

I can see it.  The Rays and the Mariners were linked at trade deadline and Brandon Morrow makes some sense.  But, this blog and its commenters went a little overboard with their dreaming.  It’s a good read, and they are creative.  But, most everything they throw out there has Curtis Granderson coming to the Rays.  I just don’t see that happening, unless they were to turn him around in yet another deal. 

My favorite fantasy?  Check out one of the comments that has the Rays ending up with Miguel Cabrera, Curtis Granderson and David Aardsma while giving up a virtual laundry list of players including Pat Burrell, Jeff Niemann, Carlos Pena, Willy Aybar and Nick Barnese.  At this point, any trade involving Pat Burrell would be welcomed.  Well, just about any trade….
