Three-Way Deal Involving Bradley Being Discussed

Found November 09, 2009 on MLB Trade Rumors:
PLAYERS: Milton Bradley,  Lyle Overbay,  Orlando Hudson,  Ryan Theriot,  Adam Lind
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs,  Toronto Blue Jays,  Los Angeles Dodgers

A very interesting idea is being reported by Ken Rosenthal: a three-way deal, with Milton Bradley going to the Blue Jays, Luis Castillo to the Cubs, and Lyle Overbay to the Mets. Rosenthal said "The teams indeed have discussed the framework of such a deal, though not in direct fashion, according to major-league sources." Breaking it down, the trade makes the most sense for the Mets, who would clear second base for long-coveted Orlando Hudson, a free agent. Overbay has also mashed righties for his entire career - .847 OPS career, .905 in 2009 - and could be paired with Daniel Murphy for a high-reward platoon. Castillo does block the movement of Ryan Theriot to second base when Starlin Castro arrives, but adding Castillo's on-base percentage would be a boon to the top of Chicago's lineup. As for the Blue Jays, the deal would open up first base for Adam Lind, with Bradley slotting in as designated hitter. The question is: Overbay slugged .466 in 2009, while Bradl...
