Is “next year” beginning now???
PhillyBurbs.com is reporting that Pat Burrell has been traded from the Tampa Bay Rays to the Cubs, who then dealt him to the Mets:
Former Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell has reportedly been swapped twice this morning, eventually landing with Phils division rival the New York Mets.
The Tampa Bay Rays traded the slugging left fielder to the Chicago Cubs then the Cubs dealt Burrell to the Mets. Names of other players involved in the deals were not immediately available.
Rumors have circulated for a while that a Milton Bradley for Burrell three-way-deal with the Mets and Rays could be in the works. This might just be what Hendry, Ricketts and the Cubs have been waiting for to get this offseason going.

***UPDATE: Two Mets officials are already denying that this happened. People are desperate not to be linked to anything Milton Bradley-related (or maybe it’s just that random web pages out of Philly are completely unreliable).
