***THE RED SOX ACQUIRE A-GON***
The Sox have completed a trade for the San Diego Padres slugging 1st baseman, Adrian Gonzales. Boston gave up their top pitching prospect, Casey Kelly, but no established major league player. With Boston pursuing Jason Werth or Carl Crawford, the addition of one of those two would give the Sox their most potent offense since the Manny-Papi show. Adrian Beltre has expressed an interest in returning to the Sox, but that looks like a distant possibility now.
This makes the Yankee-Crawford rumor more understandable, but does present the problem of the three established outfielders - Swisher, Granderson and Gardner. If Crawford is signed, they would have to trade one of them, since they already seem to have a full-time DH, called A-Rod-Jeter-Posada. The Yanks like to swoop in at the last minute and make a big splash, so we'll see what happens.
