this trade cant be real

A Red Sox source has confirmed that the Red Sox and Dodgers are currently talking about a mega-deal that would send Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett and Nick Punto to the Dodgers.

In exchange, the Red Sox will receive five players from the Dodgers. It remains unknown what the breakdown is between prospects and major-leaguers.

Medical records are currently being reviewed. If the records pass muster, then the Red Sox still need to have both Beckett and Crawford sign off on a trade since they each have veto power.

Reading where the Red Sox get Rubby De La Rosa (P), James Loney (1st), Ivan De Jesus (IF), Jerry Sands (OF) and possibly another top prospect.

Bill Simmons tweeted (jokingly when it was first announced that the Dodgers had claimed Gonzo) that "Dear Dodgers - we'll give you Gonzo, but you also have to take Beckett, Lackey and. Crawford. Cool? Let's call the deal in"

EDIT: Just read this comment - with Beckett and Crawford, Magic goes from having HIV to having cancer.

Good enough for me. Love AGon but worth it to get Crawford and Beckett off the books.

Find out what drug the hookers like the most and give them a big bag of it. They'll say yes.

Now he's tweeting "I'm not jinxing this."

Gonzo out of Boston lineup as well

Magic has reached out to Crawford and Beckett promising them they will have clubhouse access to the best Fried Chicken available in Southern California.

You know how good it feels to take a huge shit after a large meal? Imagine taking a $275M dump. If this works out, which it probably won't just to tease us then, Boston goes from being financially crippled with bad contracts and a roster full of talent that can't seem to play together, to being able to rebuild and address the glaring need in the pitching department. Of course, they'll probably use all of the freed up cash to give Lincecum a 7 year, $153M deal.

Everything about this trade is awesome. The Dodgers are loading up, you could say

Source: #Dodgers have agreed to send Allen Webster, James Loney, Jerry Sands, Ivan De Jesus, and Rubby De La Rosa to #RedSox.

Jeter gets plunked in the head. Sabathia throws behind Asdubals ass/lower back.

Cabrera winks at CC and puts the next pitch over the center field fence. That was awesome.

Just needs a single for the cycle and still in the 5th.

good to get back in the win column for the yanks!

Just glad i won't have to watch josh faggett games anymore. Welcome back to mediocrity shit sox.

Pretty awesome deal for the Red Sox. They get to dump 2 horrible, huge contracts. They get some decent minor leaguers to improve their farm system, and they can just buy another team this winter. For their sake, hopefully one that meshes a little better. Never seen a team with so much talent that just can't win.
