Tonight - Buehrle vs Hanson
Tomorrow - Nolasco vs Medlen

Roughly 30 hours left until the trade deadline.

No chance in hell unless the Sox eat 80% of his salary. And then there's only a really small chance.

They would have to take on most of his salary, and also accept mid tier prospects.

Of course they have. I'd be calling all 29 other teas trying to get rid of him.

It's unlikely the Red Sox will trade Josh Beckett, after talking with a small handful of teams about him.

quote:

Ken Rosenthal ?@Ken_Rosenthal
Possibility of #RedSox trading Beckett first mentioned by @JonHeymanCBS and @JeffPassan. Beckett 10-and-5, $15.75M in 13 and 14. Good luck.

Jon Heyman ?@JonHeymanCBS
there a sense beckett may waive 10-5 veto rights for certain teams. but clubs concerned about attitude/performance.

Mark Bowman ?@mlbbowman
Longshot at best. Velo is down and Red Sox would have to eat more than half of $37 mil he's owed. @zulucrw03 Beckett really a possibility?


Dude isn't getting moved.

beckett is one of the most overrated "big name" starting pitchers ever.

I've NEVER understood why his name gets tossed around with other big names

Let's say that the Cubs come back to the Dempster deal, do the Braves still offer Delgado?

Not a chance, IMO.

Braves know they most likely aren't going to re-sign Dempster now, so can't see them giving up Delgado.

Plus, with no movement on the Dodgers end, I'm sure the Dodgers would have done everything to convince Dempster to go to the Braves by now if the trade was still on the table.

I won't be surprised to see us get him for lower level prospects before we decide to stand pat

I think Lester would be a great fit here. It's a real longshot at best though.

Do you not realize who he plays for? Of course he's going to be overrated.

Well he's started 3 World Series games and given up a total of 3 runs in those 23.1 innings.

Teams are asking about Jon Lester and the Red Sox are saying no, flatly.
