Best of both worlds. I'm kidding but that would be awesome.

Yeah, but that sort of thing never happens.

I doubt any team that trades for him will let him hit free agency next year.

Look at Cliff Lee.

If we don't give them a signing window they might not have a choice, Brings back the pieces we need to win in 2014 and Dickey.

Dickey'll immediately sign extension w/ whatever team he goes to. Won't take a chance of either having bad 2013 or getting hurt. Will want to make sure he has guaranteed $$$ for 2014 & 2015. Probably at least $10M per. Minimum.
