A-Gon to the Red Sox

[waldo7239117]

The RS and Padres have starterd talking a Gonzo trade. The Red Sox will trade all minor legue players. This could be the blockbuster at the WM. last year it was the 3 way trade--Yankees, D'backs and Tigers.

Player that could be involve are, going to the Padres:
1B Lars Anderson (will be included)
P Michael Bowden
P Nick Hagadone
OF Josh Reddick

Then there are more players.

wow..

if the BoSox get this done.. That's a huge win..

 

[waldo7239117]

Yeah, but in 5 years down the road, they could suck because of no farm system.

Well if they win a WS or several in that time frame..

Then it's worth it to them.. They basically need another big bat in that lineup and its good.

If they trade for Gonzo, that could end their pursuit of Ramirez. They could move Youklis to 3B if he can only stay healthy.

The Sox have talked about Heath Bell coming with Gonzo.

That's gonna be a very very very high price tag

Yep, I think there's a good chance this could be a WM trade. The trade has moved along.

OMG, Padres gonna get a shitload. Wonder if Michael Bowden's included in the prospects that would go to SD, I know his uncle.

I think he would...

The Padres will likely ask for Casey Kelly, and they will get denied.

 

[waldo7239117]

The Cubs are also pursuing Gonzo, their behind the RS, then more teams. Per Ken Rosenthal.

 

[Jntg4]

I thought Davis was our blockbuster trade?

 

[waldo7239117]

I thought Davis was our blockbuster trade?

Many thought that would be.. Who knows it still could be.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

No way we can match Boston's offersheet

 

[Jntg4]

Ya, IK. But we may stop pursuing Davis because they don't need a backup catcher anymore so they might be asking for more now.

Cubs wont be able to match Red Sox, dont think the Padres want Soriano

Jon Heyman from SI said that Gonzo would rather go to Boston than The Cubs
