EJax did pretty well here under Coop & we need another righty.
So here's my crazy 3-way trade idea:
Sox send out Danks and Beckham to the Yankees, take back Edwin Jackson from the Cubs
Cubs send us a good prospect and a RP or something to dump Jackson's salary
The Yankees send us Murphy and a low level arm
We send a fairly insignificant piece back to the Cubs for PR reasons/effect (i.e. the formula of the typical salary dump deal, you get your Brandon Hynick and you act like you are happy about it)
So in summation: we basically swap Danks for EJax and pick up prospects.... does this work? It seems like EJax has very little trade value and the Cubs want to dump him, whereas Danks may have some little bit of trade value and we do not have to dump him. So we just swap the 2 contracts and get prospects for doing so, and balance the L-R part of our rotation in anticipation of Rodon.
Don't we have enough pitchers that don't throw strikes consistently
