Any trade involving Jason Heyward, Tommy Hanson, or Freddie Freeman as a centerpiece is NOT going to happen, so I'm not referring to that.

I'm talking about a trade with pieces like Kris Medlen, Jordan Schafer, Randall Delgado, Julio Tehran, and Todd Redmond.

These guys hold a lot of promise (granted, less than the three elites mentioned above), and could easily bring back a nice return in the form of a big bat.

However, I'm not completely convinced that a package of two or more of the guys I mentioned would be worth a year or two of a bat.

The future was mortgaged once two years ago, I'm just very afraid of it happening again.
