for the purposes of this exercise, i'll accept the hypothetical premise that the yankees are CONSIDERING trading ARod.

chances that he goes to LAA? no chance. halo's trading chips are the pitchers, and the yankees are VERY CONTENT with what they've got (plenty of options in the minors too). even if we consider a bat-for-bat trade, there's no chance that anderson and/or guerrero will be leaving LAA, and there's no chance yankees will even consider taking matthews. not to mention that the outfield is locked in for the yanks.
