Would you do it? Would you trade a big-name, still relatively-young arm in Jon Lester for a prospect?
There's a rumor out there that the Royals might be interested in dealing their 21-year-old power-hitting prospect Wil Myers for Lester, but would that deal make sense for Boston?
"If it's gonna be a two-year window where they have to rebuild, why not trade Lester for a young guy?" Steve Buckley asked on Uno Sports Tonight. "Put Myers in there with Will Middlebrows, Ryan Kalish. All of a sudden you have the makings of a good ball club."
OK so you might do it. But would the Red Sox? They're usually pretty bent on selling as many tickets as possible and getting good TV ratings. A deal like this would fly in the face of those things. It would make this officially a -- gulp -- bridge year.
