Hardy trade just the beginning
At first glance, Doug Melvin's decision to trade J.J. Hardy for a virtually unknown centerfielder raised some eyebrows. But look beyond the surface, and you'll see a deal that is merely setting the table for what's yet to come.

Hardy traded to Minnesota, Brewers get CF Gomez
As expected, the Brewers traded shortstop J.J. Hardy. Somewhat surprisingly, though, the team didn't bring back pitching for the 2007 National League All-Star, instead getting Carlos Gomez from the Minnesota Twins.

Is rooting for the home team part of our civic duty?
