the Red Sox will send Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, Nick Punto and the combined $262.5 million remaining on their contracts to Los Angeles for top pitching prospects Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa, marginal hitting prospects Jerry Sands and Ivan DeJesus, and first baseman James Loney.
I can’t say if it will make the Red Sox worth watching next year, but how could it be worse than this year…and it frees up the payroll a bit for developing talent and a fresh start.
