I think figuring out how to make the 40 man work for holt is a much more reasonable explanation.
Don't think he was saying the Cubs would be getting Inciarte/Greene... I think he was saying we trade for Bryant and also trade off Inciarte/Greene just somewhere... doesn't have to be in the same deal. Those are two players that have enough value to be off loaded a number of places if needed.
