The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
Let's face it, Ellsbury is going to be moved for pitching. I set this thread up so we can discuss what type of deal might be made. I've heard Cliff Lee so far. What about masterson and Cabrera in a deal with the Indians?

Re: The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
Pass on Lee. He's owed a shit ton of money so I'd rather have Halladay.
Ellsbury being moved for pitching seems likely at this point though. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head they should dangle him for.

Re: The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
Give me Cliff Lee, all day, everyday.
You want a bonafide ace? You gotta pony up.
Going to take Ellsbury + 1 top prospect (I would think Bradley).
Cliff Lee is a guy who turns this team right back into a contender. Instantly.

He's owed way too much money. Philly is gonna have to eat a good size chunk before I like it. Lee is on the way out of his prime. The Red Sox should not stick themselves with paying for what Lee has done.

Re: The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
I'm thinking an Ellsbury for Vargas type deal might be better.
Ideally I trade Lester for Myers and flip Myers+Ellsbury+++ for King Felix hahaha

Re: The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
Garza. Johann. Price. Cahill. Vargas. Floyd. There are pitchers out there who are semi-available. Go get 'em.

I did read the Indians are talking to Kevin Youk. So it would at least be ammusingly ironic if Ells ended up sharing a locker room with Youk, lol.

Lee is still an elite, elite SP. He's good for a low 3's ERA every year.
For a team who is in as bad of shape as the Sox are, Vargas wouldn't get close to fixing the rotation.
Lee fixes it almost instantly.
And you have De La Rosa as your #6 man.
I would pull the trigger on a deal of Bradley + Ellsbury for Lee + $2-3mm annually.

Ellsbury for Masterson? Cleveland was looking for CF/leadoff

Bradley and Ellsbury? No fing way. They get Ellsbury and a couple lower tier guys with that anchor of a contract. I'm in no hurry to give Philly a get out of jail free card, give them a CF, + CF of the future and the resources to go sign Hamilton. F that

Re: The Jacoby Ellsbury trade extravaganza thread
Ok I just considered the Sox have a decent amount of money coming off the books over the next couple years so maybe the $ for Lee won't be too bad. I offer Ellsbury+Brentz+Cecchini max.

That very well could do it, too.

Philly gets their CF, OF prospect and possible future 3B which Cecchini has no chance of being with the Red Sox.
