So we asked you guys if you could part with Ellsbury AND Buchholz if it landed Gonzalez…
41% of you said you would be willing to trade Buchholz, but not Ellsbury. Buchholz has always been the starting point in most trade talks, therefore, many of us braced for the inevitable a long time ago, but seeing these results makes me wonder if I should have listed a 4th option: “Trade Ellsbury, but not Buchholz.”
I won’t make another poll on this topic, but you guys can hit up the comments section with you thoughts:
Who’s more important to the future of the Red Sox: Ellsbury or Buchholz?
Keep in mind that we do have Lackey, but Wake has one foot out the door and Beckett won’t be back unless the Sox offer him at least the same $82.5 million they gave Lackey. If Joe Mauer is willing to leave Minnesota, the Sox may have to pass on Beckett and go after Mauer and that would leave them with Lester, Lackey and Dice-K… is that enough?
