Harden to Red Sox?

[Dipre]

I'd gladly sign Harden but Bedard has been a train wreck since he left Fenway South. Thanks but no thanks.

 

When he's healthy, Harden has excellent stuff and has the ability to be the true #3-4 starter we've been missing. Behind Josh and Les we've got Buch (who's too inconsistent to count on) and that's about it... If we could somehow pull off a coup and snatch King Felix out of Seattle for Buch, Reddick, Bowden, + another piece and then sign Harden, we'd really be in business.

 

Just think... Beckett, Lester, Hernandez, Harden, Wake/Dice... now that's a rotation

 

Not a chance Seattle trades Hernandez.

where would buchholz fit in? he has Beckett, lester, Felix, Harden, Wake/Dice-k

In any Felix Hernandez trade, Bucholz has to go.

oh. yeah forgot about that one. Would rather get rid of Dice-k though. he would do well with ichiro in Seattle.

Why would Seattle want to add payroll?

 

On top of that.

 

Why would the Red Sox want to eat Dice-K's salary to send him to Seattle in that case?

True. I think Dice-K is long overdue to be gotten rid of. I don't think this trade would ever happen that the Sox would end up with Felix.

No reason whatsoever for the Sox to get rid of him.

 

 

Specially now that he has something to prove.

[TedWilliams101]

A Beckett, Lester, Felix, Harden, Dice-K rotation... that would be ridiculous. If Theo can find a way to get Felix, I'll call him a genius again.

[Keeper]

Other than cost, I honestly don't know why some of you are so reticent to deal Buchholz to try and land Felix. Felix is a proven stud. Buccholz hasn't done jack.

Are any of us hesitant to trade Buccholz for a stud pitcher like Felix? I think most of us just realize it would likely take a huge package and it might not be worth it to give up Buccholz plus the rest of the farm.

[Gom]

Felix won't go anywhere. It just doesn't make sense.

I dunno... they thought about it at the deadline, and if they decide they can't sign him long term they may want to move him

 

That said, the price we'd have to pay would be astounding. Not sure if I'd go that route just yet.

They'd trade him if we sent the whole farm system and a wad of cash.

 

Would you do that?

Actually I believe the "rumored" deal(or one of them) was based around Adrian Gonzalez going to Seattle, Felix going to Boston, and Boston trading prospects.

Rumor being the keyword.

Yes of course. I wouldn't call it anything else. I was just laying out the so called "framework" that may have been made around the TD,L for anyone who might not have known about it.
