I think Chicago

Arod for Tim Lincecum.

Before you laugh your ass off, listen. Yanks resign Arod for $30 million (which is around what Boras wants) and trade him to the Giants for Lincecum (who they said was available for a 'quality bat') and the Yankees agree to pay about $7 million of his salary from the Rangers deal for the next three years.

The Giants win because they're desperate for hitting and they have a pretty deep rotation and farm system. It'd cost em $30 million, which is more like $9 million since they'll have $21 mil laying around from Barry leaving. They get the best hitter in the game.

The Yankees win because they free up a shit ton of cap space and get one of the best young arms in the game. Plus, they're loaded on offense and they can use the extra cash to overpay for another overrated third basemen coming off a career year (Mike Lowell). Lincecum, Hughes, Joba, Kennedy, and Pettitte. Fucking scary rotation for the next ten years, especially since Dellin Betances will be ready in 2009 when Pettitte passes away from old age.
