FutureGM Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 According to NBC Sports, there is a deal in the works involving the Red Sox trading starter Matt Clement to the Mariners for center fielder Jeremy Reed. The trigger is most likely to be pulled if the Sox believe that they will be unable to resign Johnny Damon. Seems like a lot to give up for a center fielder. Reed has a lot of potential, but the Red Sox need their starting pitching intact if they want to win the division this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambridge Marlin Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 that would be a thievery for the red sox. Though I wonder how much $$$$$$ is going the other way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSwift25 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I can't understand why the Mariners would do that deal. They need a lot more than Clement to hang with the Angels and A's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirspud Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would imagine that its because they don't really need Matt Clement at this point, since they got Beckett and they may get the Rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuickGold Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Reeds' stats: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7284/career Assuming Boston wants him to be a leadoff guy, he doesn't strike me as a great one with only a .322 OBP. If Boston doesn't want him at leadoff, then I see him batting 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
