Here's some shitty news if this turns out to be true:

"First wacky trade rumor of the offseason: A three-way deal between the Cardinals, Yankees and Diamondbacks. The Cardinals would get first baseman Nick Johnson from the Yankees and outfielder Danny Bautista from the D-backs. The Yankees would receive center fielder Jim Edmonds from the Cardinals and starting pitcher Curt Schilling from the Diamondbacks. And the Yankees would send second baseman Alfonso Soriano and pitcher Jeff Weaver to the D-backs. By trading Edmonds and his salary, the Cardinals would clear payroll space to add a pitcher -- say, Livan Hernandez. (If Arizona would ship second baseman and leadoff man Junior Spivey to St. Louis, make the deal. And according to Ken Rosenthal of The Sporting News, Spivey is available). "
