The Cleveland Indians have signed outfielder David Murphy. Why should a Mets fan care?

No doubt you heard the news that Jay-Z — who I understand is some kind of a pop star turned baseball agent — had dinner with Jeff Wilpon and, at some point between the shrimp cocktail and Fernet Branca (who are we kidding? they probably ordered some crappy single-malt bourbon), discussed a young man named Robinson Cano. Did this dinner and discussion mean anything?

Recently, a Mets blog patched together pieces of information from various sources to conjure a rumor suggesting that the Brewers might trade Ryan Braun to the Mets for Ike Davis.

Could such a deal happen? Would you want it to?
