Lunacy

The usually stellar Phil Sheridan has lost his ever loving mind in suggesting that the Phillies trade Vance Worley or Dominic Brown (!) to rent Carlos Beltran from the hated Mets for the next four months.

I'm all for giving up minor league prospects, many of who don't necessarily pan out. But the point of trading for a Beltran is to exchange future talent for immediate playability. Trading Worley or Brown right now are not prospects they are actual talent that is helping the team with the best record in baseball win. Trading them is an even swap at best and likely actually weakens the team this season.
