I'll wait for confirmation (as this Benton guy is the same clown who
delivered us Conor Jackson last winter) in this case.  If the trade is
for T-Clip and Marquez, they better get Gagne to agree to some sort of
extension (fat chance).  He's probably not even going to be class A FA
as they tend to go with 3yrs window prior to free agency.

I'll wait until something more tangible appears than Benton and his
"source" at this point.
