There's definitely a chance. But unless its for something useful, why?

Nobody is giving anything very useful for Leon. His value with Sale is specific to this team.
Trading Leon means we think Holt is more important than Leon or Swihart, even with Nunez being a Holt plus.
It has to be Holt to AAA, and a waste of $2.2M, or it will probably be a bad choice.
FanGraphs ranks the Red Sox starting rotation eighth in projected WAR:

... and second in projected WAR at designated hitter:

... and seventh in projected WAR in center field:

So?

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.
