Tom Verducci usually isn't bad, but I can't believe he actually wrote this.

"Aces are in demand this time of year, but oddly enough, rarely do teams acquire an impact player when trading one. Lee (Indians to Phillies, 2009), CC Sabathia (Indians to Brewers, 2008),...."

Ummm.....impact player? CC Sabathia went 11 & 2 with a 1.65 ERA while pitching on 3 days rest for the last few weeks of that race just to get the Brewers in the playoffs. He's the prototypical definition of trading for an impact player.
