Trade idea that needs to happen

[notin]

Give me the pros to the choice of trading Groome, Brannen & Diaz for 2 years of Abreu at $17M+ each year vs

just signing Santana at maybe $17M x 3 or $15M x 4 and incurring the QO penalties.

Santana is the better player and Dombrowski has never been much of a drafter anyway, last year excepted..

I may be misunderstanding your position, but you seem to want us to trade for Abreu, but we don't have enough to give for him.

I've been assuming you think signing Santana is plan B, C or D.

I don't mind Abreu but it doesn't matter. He'll be a Cardinal. The Sox really don't have the pieces to make a good deal..
