Dylan Larkin Trade Buzz Gets Weird - And the Stars Angle May Not Fit

The real intrigue is in how the pieces would have to move, because mock trades can look tidy right up until an actual GM has to pay the freight. If this story has legs, the next layer is where the leverage sits and which side blinks first.
