This is more speculation than anything still, but all signs point to "maybe" :lol:

And I find it hard to believe that a guy like Cashner or Jackson is going to be traded for Epstein. Boston of course is going to make noise about wanting a lot for compensation. Why wouldn't they ask for the moon? However, at the end of the day a player like Byrd actually makes a lot of sense.

Promising young Starlin Castro will be Boston's new shortstop. If this is not possible, then the Cubs are responsible for taking Boston's next five-year pitcher contract off of their hands, as the Red Sox will have forgotten how bad of an idea those are without Lackey around to remind them.

Not sure if serious... :thinking:

Probably was serious, but the idea that the Cubs would part with Starlin Castro for just about anything is silly.

If the Cubs can't get a SP this off-season, I would be fine with Lackey. If the Marlins were to take all 18M, contracts off set and Lackey is not a head case. I think he would do good stuff. He used to do that and I can see it again. I'd rather have an over-price vet than Stark, Russell, and all other shitty spot-ins (Coleman, Oritz, Lopez, Davis)

Boston's sports writers are as arrogant and dumb as their fans. :lol:

I'm going to print that out and tape it above my brother (the Sawx fan's) bed, lol.

Cubs will NEVER give up Garza or Castro for Theo. It will be couple of low minor leaguers.
