Soriano regressed last year, but I still think he is someone the Yankees should keep. If Rivera had saved Game 7 of the Arizona series, Soriano would have been the MVP as a rookie (not trying to blame Rivera because Torre called the infield in and that cost them the game. I agree with the Torre call though)
A-Rod to Boston might actually go down, but the problem is that they would have to give up Manny (while still paying some of his salary) and Nomar. Those are two big players to get one. Granted, they would get something for Nomar going to (Angels most likely, but maybe the Dodgers) although I am not sure how much payroll they could add.
Weaver for Brown is pretty much dead. They would have to add Boone and cash to the deal and take Brown and Beltran back. I think they are using it as a plot to show Pettite there are other optiuons. I would be very surprised to see that trade.
Vasquez will be fine in NYC, in my opinion. He is a stud. He pitches a ton of innings and has good stuff. Weaver was much less proven, and I am still not ready to write him off. Although his postseason last year made me pretty close to writing him off.
