Seriously it's RDLR and Webster for AGon Then Sands, Ivan De Jesus, and Loney for Crawford, Beckett, and a ton of money. It's a good deal for us. I'm very sad to see RDLR go though.
It sure is exciting to see a mega deal like this going down in August... Sure hope that you guys can pull this off. I don't like the young talent that you guys are going to give up bc you are going to need those minor leaguers down the future.
Jon Morossi just said that the deal is done, Dodgers agreed to send Loney, De Jesus, Sands, RDLR, and Webster
It may just be that this has to sink in but RDLR is a better pitcher than Beckett is at this point at least in the head.
I hope you are right about the money. If they are paying some of that money, this would be a good deal.
I don't really want a player who is about to get TJ surgery and Beckett is not Beckett of yesteryear. Should have traded them for a bucket of chicken and beer.
Proven talent>>>>prospects And this is coming from a guy who thinks RDLR will be the righty CK. Be happy kids!
It's probably a bad deal tbh, in terms of value but man, it improves our offense better than we might have been able to in the offseason
6:42pm: The Red Sox have yet to secure permission from Beckett, who has 10-and-5 rights, or Crawford, who has a partial no-trade clause, a source tells Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com. However, neither player is expected to block the deal.
http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ 6:45pm: The Dodgers have agreed to send Webster, De La Rosa, Loney, Sands, and De Jesus to the Red Sox, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). Meanwhile, a source tells Rob Bradford of WEEI (Twitter link) not to expect a deal to be completed tonight.
I was thinking the same thing. I guess his hopes of signing with the team after the season are slim and none.
