Red Sox Rumors: Bay, Wagner, Beckett, V-Mart

It would be really bold, but Gammons mentioned the Sox trading Beckett. They should be able to get a package equal to what the Jays expect for Doc. Then those prospects could fetch A-Gone, or even better, include a young shortstop or catcher who would take over in 2011 or 2012.

Yeah I wonder what Beckett would get the Sox.

Speaking of dealing beckett.. What about a three way deal between the sox/mariners and phillies that would go something like this:

Sox get:

King Felix, Jimmy Rollins, Jayson Werth

Phillies get:

Beckett, Ichiro, Lowrie

Mariners get:

Lars Anderson, Bard, Reddick, JA Happ, others....

Its ridiculous but at least its new and exciting

I want Wagner, give me Wagner!

Quite honestly, as a Met fan I would love that trade cause it weakens the Philthies.

While that trade is utterly ridiculous, I think the foundations are plausible if the Red Sox are seriously considering dealing Beckett. Obviously the Sox would not do this without having a deal finalized with another team to replace Beckett. Felix is obviously someone that the Red Sox have previously targeted and Theo has publicly acknowledged his love affair with Felix. If Beckett is really on the block I could see something like the following happening.

Sox get: Kyle Drabek and a lesser prospect

Phils get: Josh Beckett

The Sox could then take the 2 prospects from the Phils and flip them with another 2-3 prospects for Felix (Bowden, Kalish/Reddick and Exposito maybe?)

Obviously if the Ms feel they can contend next year, this deal is moot. I think when age, future contract considerations, and players required to complete a deal are all considered, Beckett is just as if not a more attractive option than Halladay.

Maybe with hermeda going to Rangers?

steven they got blanks why do they need anderson and kotchman?

I would be very happy if the Red Sox can sign Lackey and then either bring back Bay or decide to go big and get Holliday. At shortstop I am perfectly fine with having Alex Gonzalez handling the position and splitting some time with Lowrie. The Red Sox have the money to do it but lately have backed off on giving big deals to pitchers in their 30's and they hate to be involved with Scott Boras(What team other than the Yankees doesn't?. So realistically, I see us bringing Bay back, signing either Rich Harden or Erick Bedard, bringing back Gonzalez, and bringing back Baldelli.

No thanks on Lackey and Scutaro. If Lackey really believes he is worth Burnett $$ (which Burnett is obviously not worth) more power to him. I'm positive that Theo would not get involved at this ridiculous amount of money. Scutaro is a decent player, but at his age and with his career averages, he is not going to be anywhere near the $18-$20M total over the next 3 years which he will probably get.
