Padres' Adrian Gonzalez Could Be Just What Red Sox Ordered This Offseason - Eric Ortiz - NESN.com
A lot of things have to shake out before Theo Epstein is introducing Adrian Gonzalez as a Red Sox at a news conference. But if the Red Sox can figure out a way to get him and every other chip falls into place for them this offseason, they could be taking joy rides in duck boats next fall.

Masur's Musings: Yankees Use A CC Rider...
I'm not a Dodger fan by any stretch of the imagination. But I am rooting for them in this respect. I certainly hope that the impending divorce of owner Frank McCourt and wife Jamie McCourt. Padre fans know already that this can and will affect ownership and play on the field if it gets out of hand.

This has nothing to do with the Padres but I just happen to like Ed Barnes and Jenny Cavnar, they have a good rapport.

HAHA

I hate wordpress. I separated paragraphs but it always bunches everything together for me for some reason. Anytime I wanted to list numbers I had to use multiple dashes to line it up.

I didnt see the first draft. =)

How did you happen to get a meeting with the Illustrious Potentate of the Padres?

Did you flash your GLB KMA pass?

The Red Sox (and the Yankees)

think that you can buy off anyone… Do you really think Adrian would leave the carne asada cookouts and bible study groups of San Diego for Boston baked beans and pagan witchcraft?.

Wait so I don't get it.

They brought you in because you talked so much smack on GLB?

I seriously asked him when I first walked in

Why are you meeting with me? He said it was a right time and right place type of moment. And yes my smack talking did play a part in the meeting.

Golly

You’re supportive and optimistic and what do you get? Nada.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

i would imagine any deal of Gonzo going to Boston would include Ellsbury coming back to give us the CF we're looking for plus Bucholz and some others. we will also stop playing sweet caroline

I find it hard to imagine we'd send Adrian to Boston at this point.

The primary pieces we’d get back would be pitching depth—Buchholz, Bard, plus others. Those are good players to have, but we just added a whole bunch of pitchers already through the Peavy and Hairston deals. We’re not nearly as thin there as we were.

Boston isn’t nearly as flush with position players they can part with. We’d have to get Ellsbury, plus others. I’m not sure who the Red Sox have to play center field as well as Jacoby.

And lastly, I’m not sure that Moorad wants to get rid of Peavy and Adrian in 6 months’ time—effectively unloading the club’s two most popular players.

Obviously anything can happen, but I have to think that’s less likely than ever at this point.

Greg Maddux for manager.
