Stephen Drew traded to Yankees for Kelly Johnson

[Jaylach]

Is the most pointless trade ever?

 
I'm hearing Kelly Johnson cares.

 

[Pilgrim]

Goodness gracious!

 

[SouthernBoSox]

Kelly Johnson?

I'd rather just get a no nothing prospect

 

[ookami7m]

This was Ben just seeing how many different teams he could trade with in one day

 

[mabrowndog]

@alexspeier Confirmed: Stephen Drew for Kelly Johnson

 

[Mooch]

For Kelly Johnson.  Hope the Sox aren't including $$$$.

 

[sackamano]

Sox getting back the rights to Aaron Small's B-Ref page.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Probably very little coming back - Yankees can't afford to give up any prospects, but can certainly pay the remaining salary

 
Yes, Yanks assuming the salary might be the whole deal.
 
Edit: Johnson? Is that better than just the $?

 

[rajendra82]

Dirt clogs up the toilet.

 

[redsahx]

 

Kelly Johnson?
 
That's not going to get us Giancarlo Stanton.

 
Maybe if his grandmother is part Cuban. That would go over well with the fans in South Florida.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Horrible trade. The front office badly misjudged the market again.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

And, again again, the Yankees are buying?!?!?!?

they think they can catch the BJ's. I don't doubt it. Unless Seattle get Price, they have a very good chance.

 

[jon abbey]

Confusing. 

 

[Corsi]

Is the most pointless trade ever?

 
 not if we save some scrilla

 

[Merkle's Boner]

This has got to be the most insane day in which the Sox did not win a World Series I have ever experienced. Can't imagine what it has been like on Yawkey Way.

 

[EvilEmpire]

So Drew gets a prolonged audition as the Yankees evaluate how well he might fit for next season. OK.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Possibly they can now trade Kelly Johnson and Allen Craig to Oakland and get Lester back.
 
I think that's what Kevin Costner did in "Draft Day"

 

[Eck'sSneakyCheese]

Who cares what we got back? Drew is gone! Hallelujah!!!

 

[Dogman]

Horrible trade. The front office badly misjudged the market again.

 
Yes they did...back in May.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kelly Johnson lmao.
 
This is like a couple of rich kids trading a piece of dog poop for a rusted can opener.

 

[zenter]

Kelly Johnson?
 
That's not going to get us Giancarlo Stanton.

 
Signed through this year. Looks like a salary dump.

 

[Snodgrass'Muff]

Well, this is going to suck. 

 
Eh, the Yankees need depth on the bench and someone who can cover the position defensively in late innings, and the Sox need to get Bogaerts back to short for a couple of months to see if he can stick.
 
I'm guessing we're getting nothing back for him, but the fact that he's moving off of the roster, which isn't competitive, has value.
 
Edit: Kelly Johnson. So yeah, nothing.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I was unaware the Yankees had prospects

they don't. Kelly Johnson is 32.159 years old  but can play 2B, 3B, LF and RF. So maybe they found a sell high buyer for Brock?

 

[ifmanis5]

Corsi traded to NYYFans for future considerations.

 

[Lose Remerswaal]

Dust for crumbs

 

[DJnVa]

This is one elaborate plan.

 
You stopped making sense 22,000 posts ago. This is just a salary dump. It's not hard to figure out.

 

[Dogman]

Thanks,

 

[rajendra82]

Two first names for two last names.  The Plan is unraveling.

 

[bosockboy]

Johnson will probably be DFA.

 

[LesterFan]

What a day

 

[shepard50]

Horrible trade. The front office badly misjudged the market again.

 
You're on a roll.

 

[Rovin Romine]

I'm having trouble believing there wasn't another team that would take Drew. 

 

[brandonchristensen]

This is one elaborate plan.

 
Could Johnson be a first name for anyone?

 

[Merkle's Boner]

Drew has to switch dugouts this weekend.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Who cares what we got back? Drew is gone! Hallelujah!!!

Drew cares.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Johnson will probably be DFA.

Oh God...that would be hilarious.
 
Poor guy.

 

[edoug]

Drew cares.

J.D. doesn't

 

[The Gray Eagle]

Please tell me we are not sending one single penny to the Yankees, of all teams. 
 
Drew hit .170 for us, I will be shocked if he doesn't hit double that for them. That's how this season is going. 

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Two first names for two last names.  The Plan is unraveling.

maybe he changes his name to Kelly John?

We've got a bingo.

 

[swingin val]

Horrible trade. The front office badly misjudged the market again.

Or perhaps there was no market for Drew

 

[findguapo]

Drew cares.

maybe

 

[hrbrendan]

Or perhaps there was no market for Drew

 
someone break out the sarcasm meter again.  and again.  and again.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Good.  This was my one and only hope.

 

[hbk72777]

With this trade, maybe there's hope for Israel/Palestine

I could think of a place or two I may have seen it...can we make this thread NSFW?

Watch him knock a bunch of homers in the Toilet.

[chrisfont9]

I thought we didn't make trades with the Yankees?
 
Well, his emotional return to Fenway Park tomorrow is going to be massive.
