Weighing in on your (really creative) trade proposals.

The Winter Meetings are underway. Time to cook up some deals.

When I run these mailbags or trade simulation stories, I have to decide how many of your questions or proposals to cover. I’ve got no editor to assign such things.

Should I pick four or five, which, the way trade ideas tend to ignite me, I could easily dig hard into and drop a couple thousand words on . . . each?

Hit on all 40-plus spitballs you guys dutifully threw out there this time?

Focus on only the Yankees ideas, given that Steve Cohen dropped between $765 million and $805 million last night in Dallas — in the same hotel and with the same agent as another record-shattering contract 24 years ago — to make sure his crosstown rivals would have a hitter to replace?

Or maybe just roll with all 12 trades that subscriber Taylor Empkey submitted? (I want Taylor in my fantasy league.)

With the mailbags, I tend to tell myself to stop wasting time on the issue, and just go with nine. It’s a baseball number.

So that’s what we’ll do. Nine of your proposed trades, and my thoughts on each of them. No repeated player targets. No repeated teams. And — sorry, Taylor — no repeated subscribers.

Here we go.
