getting too old for this
but now the sox have the cash to sign anybody....and a few prospects to use as trade bait if they want....but losing agon hurts, he's leading the majors in hitting with runners in scoring position

I am trying to understand who is behind this? It appears Valentine is a cancer manager. Unless the owners have directed the GM to cut salary, the Red Sox will be lucky to win 50 games going forward. The Dodgers are all in trying to win this year and beyond. I wonder how Pedoria feels?

... and hey, Lackey is coming back next year!
Like I said... no problem at all with moving Beckett and Crawford. But... you gave up Rizzo and Kelly to get Gonzalez in the first place, so really you're just back in 2010 with no Gonzalez and nifty prospects.

Nothing to see here
Ownership is clearly convinced that Valentine is the guy they want. These guys are all Epstien guys that didn't mesh w/ Valentine so they are gone , it looks like they are trying to get rid of anything that has something to do w/ Epstien or Francona and start this whole team over with Cherington and Valentine building it up again. They will have a ton of money to spend and players to trade with this off season so it would not surprise me if they reloaded quickly. It also would not surprise me to see more guys gone like they did w/ Youkilis guys like Pedroia and Ellsbury that don't like Valentine and will bring back a nice haul in free agency or trades.

I don't think Lackey will be there if he has a good spring training , I'm sure they cant wait to get rid of that contract

Mizuno. Next Question?
The cancer is the guys traded... Red Sox will be good next year... they will have BIG BIG money to spend in off season!

Unless he smokes crack and gets put on waivers... Dogers sent a porn star with a 8ball to texas.

i agree losing rizzo sucks....but the sox got the 2nd and 3rd best dodgers prospects in sands and de la rosa....both project to be solid major league pitchers....the sox have a ton of flexibility now....with beckett, crawford and agon the sox would have basically been the same team for at least the next two years, if not longer, with those financial constraints...and we have seen what kind of team that is
that and he's an opposite field hitter that can't hit home runs at fenway.

Valentine is only under contract for 1 more year. Crawford deal was good at the time. Crawford was performing at an All-star level. I don't think Crawford had an injury issues when he became a free agent. I agree that LA just screwed themselves with all that money owed to these guys. Beckett could be worth it, IF he decides to focus on baseball. I just don't think Valentine is a good fit for Boston. However, maybe the Red Sox owners knew exactly what they were doing, when they hired him.

EBAY LIGHT up in here !
Boston had no choice but to impload that MESS they had going on , plain and simple ... so they did the right thing, unloaded big Salaries to a Dodger team who is showing they arent scared to spend and they are obviously going for the title NOW rather than later.
Bobby V is good with YOUNG talent, so obviously ownership likes Bobby V enough to impload and reload ... Rebuilding in Boston, I love it !! F the sox !

Boys in the yaa will cool down and the dodgers will finish in 1st.......Hopefully Crawford doesn't end up a bust like Andruw Jones did a couple years ago when he was in Blue......sky's the limit financially with this new ownership....don't count them out on the big name free agents in the off season either . Once Victorino and Blanton are done after the season, Dodgers will spend big $$$ on big arms and a true leadoff hitter.
