Too expensive for the Red Sox.
We would be giving the Padres one of the best base stealers in the league, there replacement at closer for Trevor Hoffman, and Buchholz would eventually own in Petco. Think about what Cla Meredith has become in San Diego and then remember he doesn't come close to the talent level of Bard or Buchholz.
Jake Peavy is a good pitcher and I'd love to get him but I'd rather give up money for Sabathia, Sheets, or Burnett rather than young talent.
