I'm sure there's something in the rules prohibiting this, but perhaps the Sox can send a decent prospect or two to the Cubs for Garza and agree to let the whole Theo compensation demand go away.
4. *Matt **Garza*, RHP, Cubs - Epstein will listen to offers on Garza and just about anyone on his team. The reason? Epstein needs players to fill his farm system. The Cubs likely are not going to be really competitive for a while, so rather than keep resources that won’t be able to make your team better instantly, why not trade assets for younger players until that moment comes? Epstein always coveted Garza when he was Red Sox GM. Will Cherington take a shot? BTW, I'm surprised no one has mentioned this (or perhaps I haven't seen it.) But does anyone else find it at least ironic that Jed Hoyer agrees to trade Adrian Gonzalez to Theo one off season and then takes a job with him the next? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
