I think some teams would be interested in a left handed power bat and a decent first baseman for $2 mill.
The only way we trade him is if we're out of it.
Here are some of the quality relievers a lot of us figured were on the Sox radar this offseason with ERA and WHIP:
Joe Kelly 10.13 1.95
Cody Allen 6.00 1.89
David Robertson 5.40 2.10
Andrew Miller 5.11 1.62
That's a whole heap of quality there...
They re-traded for Boomer when his best years were behind him, though. He had one good season in his second go-round and then he was done.
The Lee-Papi traded was incredibly stupid in its own right, that's for sure.
Looking at his record, it appears that maybe he got burned out by overuse. He pitched a crazy number of innings for a reliever. But after 4 seasons of heavy innings he fell off the cliff.
