LOL, it'll cost a pitcher and a big pitcher at that since Lester was given up. Think Gausman or Bundy. So let this one go.

I've been watching MLB Network every night since Sunday this week. Cespedes is going somewhere, that's for sure. He has only one year left on his contract, and the Sox have a surplus of outfielders.

I agree the price will be high, but I don't think it would take any of the big three. The initial thought of Chen or Norris is probably closer to reality.

Ya, it's pretty ridiculous to think that one year of Cespedes will cost Bundy or Gausman. Boston wants to trade him, they have a huge jam in the outfield, and just missed out on their most-coveted pitcher. Chen should get it done, though I prefer Norris.

Needless to say, I would be ALL OVER this deal. Cespedes has a cannon for an arm as well, just sayin.

For Cespedes, or within the Cespedes and Pedroia context?

[TheDirtyBird]

Id happily give up Norris and something for Cespedes. Idk what that stats are on rotations without lefties, but I don't like the sound of it

With the context of Dipper's post.

[Reboulet'sStache]

I'd prefer to give them Norris, because I don't think Norris should/will get a QO next year. Chen I keep if we can. I think he will get one and he is left handed.

Could me.. Norris and Matusz? Chen is kinda off limits unless it's a straight up trade since he's the only lefty starter we have.

I think this needs to be a three team trade

There's a good chance Duke is going to trade one of our six current starters. There just isn't room for all of them. Tillman and Gausman are untouchable. Ubaldo's contract makes him un-tradeable. I think we are high on Gonzo. So if it's a given that either Chen or Norris is going to be traded, why not get Cespedes back for one of them? I make that deal in a heartbeat, even if its Chen.

[LayzieDES]

I want Cespedes, but not for Chen.

Unless they throw in Pedroia too?

Actually, Chen and Schoop for Cespedes and Pedroia. DO eeeeeet!

They can have Chen for Cespedes and Ed Rodriguez.

What would you trade for Cespedes that you think BOS would bite at?

Norris and Matusz for Cespedes is one I am good with and maybe the kick in a minor league catcher in A or AA.

It's a 1 year rental. If the Sox want to move him, they know not to ask for Bundy or Gausman.

With no opportunity to extend a qualifying offer.

It's not like they didn't already just do that 4 months ago.
