For Lackey? I'd expect more for him than Lester and Miller.StuckOnYouk said:If Miller is tied to this they could get a nice haul. Without him tied to it, it will be interesting to see what we get.

Amen. When I found out he was pitching 2011 hurt, my opinion on him began to change drastically. 2013 just completed the turnaround.Snodgrass'Muff said:
It should look every bit as gracious as the Lester thread, but it won't. The guy gave his body for the club, took serving after serving of shit from the fans, and still came back to help lead the club to the World Series last year, while embracing the city in the midst of a terrible tragedy, while being praised as an amazing teammate. Of course, he has a face that's easy to hate, so he'll be vilified.
Well, I wouldn't say less likely. I think it just made more sense if he stayed. Having him just makes competing in 2015 a lot easier.JohntheBaptist said:Yeah, I'm not surprised its picking up--I don't get how trading Lester made it less likely Lackey went.

Yes. He should net more. I will be disappointed if he doesn't.MakMan44 said:For Lackey? I'd expect more for him than Lester and Miller.
He does deserve some flack for failing to appreciate that the $500K salary is a more than fair trade off for the total lack of productivity he gave for half the deal...to say nothing of the fact that it's the deal he agreed to.Snodgrass said:

It's definitely exciting...just...a new feeling. We're going to be fielding a radically different team next year.ivanvamp said:
I feel like the Marlins after winning a World Series. It truly is insane.
I hear you--just considering everything we were reading yesterday, I don't see how anything changed to reverse course on that.MakMan44 said:Well, I wouldn't say less likely. I think it just made more sense if he stayed. Having him just makes competing in 2015 a lot easier.
The David Price sweepstakes are still open for another three and a half hours.brandonchristensen said:It's definitely exciting...just...a new feeling. We're going to be fielding a radically different team next year.
EDIT:
I'd love if the Dodgers missed the playoffs. Just to fuck with them a bit.

red sox expected to get ML ready OF and pitcher back for lackey from @STLCards. @GordonEdes 1st mentioned lackey trade
Turns out I was wrong anyway. Oh well.JohntheBaptist said:I hear you--just considering everything we were reading yesterday, I don't see how anything changed to reverse course on that.
I will say, trading 4/5ths of the rotation in a week is really fascinating to me on a "what'd that be like?" level.
The outfielder is probably Stephen Piscotty. Oscar is too much to ask for.pjr said:

Sox get Kelly, Craig for Lackey
He can take Carp's ABs. HaShamus74 said:
Great, we got a less talented version of JD Drew.

First name mentioned and actual return can be very different. Morosi wasn't even sure if he's actually being discussed today.bosockboy said:Seems uninspired with the reported frenzy on Miller.
