I like both of the trades (Cain over Darvish, easy).

I would lean towards the second trade. Two high ranking pitchers for this year and a 5 tool threat for your guys is a pretty good exchange. If one says that Kershaw and Halladay are a wash, then Sale/Kemp should make more of a difference than Jeter/Howard/Morse.

You don't really need Kemp's speed factor as much with Ellsbury back, so I could also understand if you wanted to go smaller with the first trade.

I think both are wishful thinking. Unless trade one is indeed that big of a homer to make the trade. If so, go with Cain over Darvish.

I like the second trade much better, but again, I think its wishful thinking.

The second trade is never going to happen. Offer it, but don't expect anything.

First trade, I'd say for argument's sake that Halladay is about equal to Cain. Jeter/Howard for M-Cab is an absolute ripoff. Once again, offer the deal, but truly I wouldn't expect much. Maybe you'll get a good counter out of one of the deals, and still come out a bit on top.
