So, Gonzalez, Crawford, and Beckett for Loney and parts. … L.A. can't possibly be dumb enough to actually do it.

[Update 2012-08-25 17:40] Now a done deal. Deets from the LAT.

Two words: Salary Dump
From a win-now perspective, it would be a crazy trade for the Sox (maybe, they ain't exactly winning) but from a rebuilding standpoint I think it makes alot of sense.
Works for fans of the former Bums of Brooklyn. "We" still probably need more pitching, of course.
I agree with both of you.
It'll be interesting to see if Beckett has a Youkalis-like rejuvenation.
Wouldn't mind seeing Carl Crawford return to form, either. (Now that he's out of the AL East, of course. ))
Yeah, good for the Dodgers. Boston will always be my primary baseball team but I have taken a shine to the Blue recently, and it's great to see a great organization, with some of the most passionate and down to Earth fans, doing such a good job of turning things around.
