Introducing 29 Trades For 29 Teams

PrintCamden Chat is doing something awesome right now, and it's called 29 Trades for 29 Teams. I spoke with Stacey from Camden Chat, and she said we should try it out as well.
The idea of 29 Trades for 29 Teams is that each team is represented by one user. The user picks a team, and makes a trade between the Yankees and the users team.
For example, let's say I choose the Chicago White Sox. I would write a fanpost titled "29 Trades For 29 Teams: Chicago White Sox" and in the fanpost would write the trade between the two teams, why I believe it is fair, etc.
Here is Camden Chat's chart of all the trades users have made so far.
Here is a fanpost example from Camden Chat.
Here is the introduction post from Camden Chat for more information.
I think this is a fun activity, but we need you to get involved.
There are only a few ground rules.
-Make the trades fair. No "Jacoby Ellsbury for Chris Dickerson" fanposts, please. For some things to consider when considering trades, check out Frank's Trade Value Primer.
-One team per user. If someone took your team, pick a different team!
-Title the fanpost "29 Trades For 29 Teams: Your Team Name"
So, if you are interested, please comment below which team you would like to take. You can write the fanpost when you want to, but please, if you pick a team write the fanpost. Not fair to others if you don't write it.
Hope you all get involved, and can't wait to see the trades!

Is there a deadline for when I have to post this?
And one other question- can we do a three team trade if we feel it is necessary?

No deadline, and I hadn’t thought about that. I guess so, as long as the main pieces are the Yankees and the team you chose.

Folks, take your time writing these. The goal was to get some analysis with the trade, analyze it from both sides, discuss the future and current roster changes.

While any trade with the Red Sox isn’t exactly going to be realistic, I actually think it would be fun to try to come up with one that’s fair for both teams.

Put the Red Sox back on the "available" list, please.
I’m in way over my head. I didn’t realize the depth and detail of information needed to make this understandable and enjoyable for others to read.
My thinking was I would submit something along the lines of Player A for Player B not realizing there needs to be more thought and diligence put into it. I’m just not that knowledgeable when it comes to trades, contracts and the like.
Apologies for backing out, wasting the time of Pinstripe Alley and for not playing the game.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

@kylebarnhart
Sounds like a great idea, I would be interested in the Rays.
Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but milleniums in a place with no doors.
By interested in, do you mean you are taking the Rays? If so, you can have them!

You're too old to act the way you do to strangers on the internet.
If my presence bothers you, try ignoring it.

Hey I don't want the A's anymore
I was centering it around Gio, and with him gone there is literally no trade involving the A’s and Yankees that would make sense.
I don’t know what team to switch to though. Give me a suggestion!

see, I came up with a player we could get from the Rockies but I have no idea what we could give them back that would really make sense. Same thing for the Red Sox.
