Iowa Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Rotoworld: The Red Sox have until 6 p.m. today to finalize their trade with the Marlins. They may yet have concerns about Josh Beckett's shoulder. A source told the Boston Herald the team still had enough unanswered questions that the proposed deal could not be consummated yesterday. If the Red Sox aren't entirely convinced Beckett's shoulder is sound, they could ask the Marlins for cash to cover some of Mike Lowell?s salary or try to send a different package of prospects back to the Marlins.

Fish Tank Frenzy Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 There are plenty of places for JB to play next season. If the Red Sox pass than the next team steps up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamarlins3 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Meh...Red Sox may just try to get more money...I say leave it at a take or leave. There will be other offers for Beckett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 This may get interesting. Now that there are serious doubts about Ramirez' ability to live up to his potential, what the Marlins got in return, and the fact that the payroll is already bottomed out thanks to Delgado, perhaps this may end up to be a silver lining. Plus, if Beckett fails the Red Sox' physical, I doubt he's moved simply because other teams will probably shy away or offer us less for him. This, however, does mean that LoDuca and Pierre will be as good as gone, since payroll will need to be shed elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Juanky Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Boston fans are way too pumped about this for it not to go through. I think this is just a byproduct of not having a GM, and too many people discussing this at once. Two heads are better than one but one head is better than ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsprt05 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I just puked in my mouth a little bit...whether Ramirez lives up to the hype or not, he surely has more to offer in the present and future than Andino or Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fan Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 It will still most definitely go through. If not... Joel Guzman anybody? :mischief    I'd rather have him than Hanley. Guzman is a future MONSTER. I'm with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stag5 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 The difference in getting Beckett and allowing the Yanks to get Beckett is more than Boston can risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FishFanInPA Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 YES.....Yankees should trade for him to shove it in Boston's face.....Cano and Wang please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 3 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 From the Miami Herald today: The Marlins had to give up Beckett in order to get rid of Lowell, who is down to receive $9 million each of the next two seasons. But sources said there is growing concern among the Red Sox about Beckett's shoulder, and it could lead to an amended deal in which the Marlins might have to either absorb some of the money left owed to Lowell or receive lesser prospects as part of the trade. This trade is painful enough as it is. The possibility of receiving lesser prospects or absorbing more money in this haste to dump salary would be unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
