Tradebait?

So the Cubs have recently emerged as a possible trade destination for Melky or Gardner. The thought here is that neither will be traded until we sign Matt Holliday or another quality corner OF, and in that case the Yanks would likely trade Melky because he's more expensive and because Gardy's one plus tool, speed (okay D, too), is more useful off the bench than anything Melky's got. It's interesting that the Cubs think one of them will be available. What are they hearing?
