Red Sox Place Adrian Gonzalez On Trade Waivers

[Rene88]

I swear to god this year has been so bad with respect to fans not understanding the August waiver process.

That isn't the issue here. Bobby V versus the ownership and the players. Who is in charge? It is like Baltimore in that mess of a baseball town.

I think there is a very good chance (despite what Jim Bowden says), he is traded.

Wow. #RedSox #Dodgers from @GordonEdes: RT/working on deal that send AGon, Crawford, Beckett & Punto to LA. Hurdles remain, but closing in.

Well that would be ridiculous. The Dodgers are willing to take on a ton of money, I guess.

Gosh, I am so tired of people not understanding waivers, I am so smart and everyone is so stupid:)

On a serious note, Times are a-changing in Boston....

Dodgers seem insane at the moment.

They have new owner fever.

If the Dodgers take the entire financial exposure of Crawford& Beckett from the Red Sox...then it is a no-brainer if they have to incl AGone

Somewhere in here is a coherent thought, but I'm going to need to drink a lot more Ovaltine to get the decoder ring for it.

They have new owner fever.

Or malaria.

Wow, thanks a lot LA. Just letting the Red Sox escape from under several bad deals. This could help the Red Sox turn it around a lot faster.

I agree that this could help them get out from under some awful deals pretty easily but this would also signal a huge rebuilding process that could take a number of years. If they decided to go all in and trade a few more of the vet pieces Pedroia, maybe Lester, they really wouldn't be left with much more than Ellsbury and Middlebrooks in terms of prime talent at the MLB level

This will help the Red Sox get turned around alot faster. Not good news if you ask me. They had some terribly long contracts and might escape from all of them.

Depends if they have some good pitching. Rebuilding or not, you know Boston will sign a good starter or two if needed.
