The Perfect Trade for the Natural Gas Vehicle Boom
2012-01-31 14:00:00 That car in your garage should be running on natural gas. With oil prices around $100 and unlikely to fall much lower in coming years, and natural gas selling for less than $3 per thousand cubic feet (MCF), the cost differential is far too big to ignore. Consider this: $3 of natural gas gets you about one million BTUs (British thermal heating units) of energy. It takes about eight gallons of gasoline (or about $25 to $30 worth at current prices) to get the same amount of energy. The gas price is wholesale while the gasoline price is retail, but even on an apples-to-apples basis, gasoline is at least five to six times more expensive. So why . . . → Read More: The Perfect Trade for the Natural Gas Vehicle Boom

Would you trade Noah for Paul Pierce?
2012-01-19 16:12:00 Disclaimer: This has absolutely nothing to do with Jo’s early season struggles- I have no doubt that he’ll turn it around once he gets into game shape. If there’s anyone in the NBA who needs to be in top shape to play his game effectively, it’s Noah. And no, I haven’t joined the Sam Smith... Read more »

Why the Edwin Jackson trade doesn't make cents
2011-07-28 11:40:00 Last year at the trade deadline, Kenny Williams traded Daniel Hudson for Edwin Jackson.

Can the Cubs really trade Soriano? Can they afford not to?

Cubs may still be able to trade Aramis Ramirez
2011-06-29 23:46:00 Apparently, Ramirez's contract isn't so prohibitive when it comes to trades after all.Well, except for the No Trade Clause he has yet to waive.It's been widely discussed that Ramirez's contract includes a club option that would automatically be exercised if he were to be traded.Not so, according to Bruce Levine of ESPN and Cot's Baseball Contracts.The only money Ramirez gets in the event of a trade is $1M to help with moving expenses. That's quite a move if you ask me. Still, it's quite affordable by any MLB team willing to pick up what's left of his salary. And it's possible the Cubs would help out with some money as well.Now, assuming that's out of the way and that Ramirez,...
Why the Cubs should trade Geovanny Soto
2011-06-28 23:00:00 There's been lots of talk about who the Cubs should trade but one name that hasn't come up that often is Geovanny Soto. It seems like an odd person to deal considering he doesn't make the kind of money Alfonso Soriano makes, nor is he past his prime like Aramis Ramirez. He doesn't have attitude questions like Carlos Zambrano.So why Soto? .1) He could bring back talent than all of those players combined, that is, if those other players can be traded at all. Soto is a good player at a premium position.2) The Cubs have two catchers, Welington Castillo and Steve Clevenger who could step in and become the Cubs new catching tandem. Castillo has really taken a step...
Chicago Bulls Shooting Guard Options - Free Agency or Trade?
2011-06-28 04:36:00 Assuming there will be a 2011-2012 NBA Season, the Chicago Bulls will most certainly be looking to bring in some veteran talent at the SG position. Options will exist through trade, and possibly through free agency depending upon the new CBA. The MLE (Mid Level Exception) is key to the Chicago Bulls being able to bring in a veteran through free agency. This CBA is so uncertain that no one knows if the MLE, a hard salary cap, or a flex cap will exist next season. For brevity sake, we will assume that the CBA will include a options for teams at the salary cap like the Chicago Bulls.Below are options through Free Agency and Trade that the Chicago Bulls...
Blackhawks trade Kopecky's rights to Florida, qualify three
2011-06-28 01:24:00 Stan Bowman and Dale Tallon must be besties. For the third time in the last two seasons, the Blackhawks have made a trade with the Florida Panthers.The Blackhawks traded the negotiating rights to Tomas Kopecky to Tallon and the Panthers for a conditional 7th round draft pick. The Blackhawks were going to let Kopecky walk July 1st, so this trade is a no brainer. The Panthers want Kopecky, and found it worth the 7th rounder to have exclusive negotiating rights until Friday. In other news, the Blackhawks qualified three of their four restricted free agents. Receiving offers were Viktor Stalberg, Chris Campoli, and Michael Frolik. It's expected that all three will sign the offers and return to the club. Jake...
Wouldn't you know it, Brian Campbell trade to Florida a reality. Huge
2011-06-25 05:43:00 Campbell and Brouwer traded
Reports : Blackhawks Trade Brian Campbell to Panthers
2011-06-25 04:39:00 Numerous NHL outlets are reporting that Brian Campbell has waived his no trade contact to accept a trade to the Florida Panthers. Earlier Friday, rumors had flown that Campbell had been traded to Columbus, but it fell through. This trade appears to be the real deal.In his 215 games with the Blackhawks, Campbell recorded 19 goals and 117 points, with a +51 rating. His talent has never been in question, but the contract former Blackhawk's and current Florida Panthers' GM Dale Tallon signed him to was far too much for a player of his ability. His offensive numbers were decent, but he was too often a defensive liability. The salary relief will help the Blackhawks resign Patrick Sharp, who is...
Blackhawks Trade Brouwer to Caps for 1st Round Pick

Cubs To Pursue Top Prospects and Young Players at Trade Deadline
2011-06-23 21:19:00 According to ESPN's Bruce Levine, the Cubs intend to pursue top prospects and young players at the trade deadline. They're just not exactly sure if they're going to approach it as buyers or sellers. Buy or Sell? Whatever the Cubs do they should focus on accumulating as many assets as possible. Approaching it as sellers would seem to be the obvious answer at first glance, but that may not be easy to do. Trading Carlos Zambrano or Alfonso Soriano would require the Cubs to send over a significant amount of money -- and teams still may not be willing to give us a top prospect in exchange. That's a decision that's going to have to come down from Tom Ricketts...

Obama Puts Unions Ahead of a Healthy Economy, Free Trade
2011-06-15 16:06:00 -By Warner Todd Huston President Obama claims that he wants to "create jobs," and is happily touting several policies that he claims will create jobs in this jobless, non-recovery. Unfortunately, all his polices really do is shore up the high cost unions that kill job growth. As GOP Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConell says, Obama has "relentlessly pursued an agenda that is radically opposed" to job growth. Speaking on the floor last Tuesday, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said, "For two and a half years, Democrats in Washington have paid lip service to the idea of job creation -- even as they've relentlessly pursued an agenda that is radically opposed to it... Democrats don't want to admit that the government-driven...
...One More Trade Thought: Could Marmol Be Moved?
2011-06-12 15:55:00 I thought I had covered most of the potential movers in my last post about Cub trade ideas, but one guy in particular got a lot of buzz in the comments, so I thought I'd give him his own post. Since humans usually read article titles before they read the body text, you know who I'm talking about: could the Cubs closer be traded soon?When I made my first pass at identifying potential trade candidates, I dismissed Carlos Marmol for two reasons: one, the Cubs just signed him to a long-term deal, and two, that deal pays him a relatively great deal of money in 2012 and 2013. If the Cubs were even thinking about dealing Marmol, why would they sign...
Should the Cubs trade Marmol?
2011-06-11 18:55:00 Sure we'd all like to trade Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Zambrano, but their contracts prohibit the Cubs from moving them. It's likely the Cubs will try to trade Kosuke Fukudome, Marlon Byrd, and Carlos Pena if the team continues to fade -- but those would strictly be cost-cutting moves, there's little chance of getting anything in return but a sleeper prospect or two.Marmol could bring some young talent if the Cubs decide to rebuildSo what about Marmol? That would really get other teams to start listening. Marmol starts to get expensive next season at nearly $10M. A highly paid closer is a luxury on a team with a bloated payroll who isn't expected to contend next season. He may...
Agent: Ramirez won't give up no-trade clause
2011-06-08 00:20:00 Fred Mitchell reports that even if the Cubs consider a youth movement, the agent for Aramis Ramirez says he isn't inclined to drop his no-trade clause. The timing of Kinzer's announcement is more than likely A-Ram's camp posturing through the media, in the case the Cubs begin looking to deal some veterans. It's Kinzler's way of saying you are going to have to pay us to get us to give the no-trade up....

But if each fan were told they could get Stuckey and Gasol as a result of doing such a deal, then I'm sure they all would want a part of it. Fact is, Bulls should consider acquiring Collison as oppose to raw-cap, even if you have to make Deng the only principle in a such deal. By acquiring... |
