One thing I've never understood about baseball is why trades are
publicised before they are finalised.  For example, everybody knows that
the A's and Yankees are close to a deal that would send Ricky Henderson
to New York.  But what if the deal falls through and Henderson ends up
staying in Oakland?  How can he be expected to play to his full potential
for the A's when he knows they've been trying to trade him and he's playing
against a team that he could be joining the next day?
