If the Cards are indeed in the mix, I think it'll be official soon though. It sounds like Texas and St Louis are his preferences.

It sounds like Texas and St Louis are his preferences. I seriously doubt he'll end up in Texas. He's made it very clear of his desire to stay in the NL at all costs.

pktmotion Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 If indeed Oswalt heads to St. Louis and the Red Sox start getting anxious to trade for Gavin. What are the realistic expectations? Do the Red Sox have decent enough prospects? are they overhyped? If we're working on a position of leverage, I'd like KW to pull a fast one on a rookie gm. The Red Sox are starting to get desperate.

The Red Sox are starting to get desperate. It's hard to put realistic expectations on a trade return. We don't know how each team values certain players or prospects. Kenny also works his own way and it's hard to predict what he will do. You know he loves his reclamation Coop can fix 'em players. If I had to guess I'd say a fair return would be two "B" prospects, or a higher end "B" prospect and some "C+" pieces along with it. Kenny might have more leverage here than normal with the Red Sox kind of f***ed by the luxury tax threshold. Some players to consider would be Anthony Ranaudo, Brandon Workman, Brandon Jacobs, and Bryce Brentz. I doubt the Red Sox would move Middlebrooks, Lavarnway, or Bogaerts. Some lesser pieces could be Felix Doubront, Stolmy Pimentel, Drake Britton, and Christian Vasquez.

DirtySox Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Red Sox sources have indicated they expect to re-engage the Chicago White Sox in trade talks for right-hander Gavin Floyd, who according to one White Sox source is available for the right package of prospects. So far, the Red Sox have not made a proposal satisfactory to GM Kenny Williams. A long- shot possibility remains Edwin Jackson, the last significant starting pitcher remaining on the market. Jackson had not been on Boston's radar at the outset of the winter because of his desire for a multiyear deal, but have been in touch with agent Scott Boras on a possible one-year deal. As of earlier Friday, the Sox had not made an offer for Jackson. http://espn.go.com/boston/mlb/story/_/id/7...-cardinals-soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But look at it from his perspective, he doesnt want to go out getting lit the F*** up in the AL when he can at least keep his ERA respectable thru the end of his career. He knows he doesnt have much left in the tank, and he has been flirting with retirement for a few years now, plus all of his recent injury and personal issues. It is probably best for him to stay with what he knows and where he is comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, they can't give Edwin the deal he wants it seems. It would push them over the luxury tax threshold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
