How the fukk are these fukkers allowed to shed payroll like this?

I'd take a chance on Beckett, that Bay Area HGH does wonders but Crawford too?

Sox fan here. I hope we get rid of both. Gonzo just doesn't fit up here in Boston. He doesn't seem to get 'it'. He doesn't show up in big game situations. I like him and wish him success but he will never find it here. I thank Beckett for everything he has done for Boston including winning us a title. However, he has turned into the biggest fukking a$$hole and the biggest cancer to our clubhouse. I would trade him for a bat boy. He will pitch lights out wherever he ends up outside of here. Don't let this season fool you. If the Dodgers get him, they will take the NL. He is just too nice in the playoffs and once he gets his head out of his ass, he will be old school Beckett. Crawford isn't going anywhere. I think he's turning it around and will be a monster next year. Too bad we can't put our front office on waivers. They fukked everything up the past few years.

Love the idea of dumping Beckett on the Dodgers, but losing both Gonzales and Crawford seems like a lot.

Are the Dodgers that stacked in the farm system that they have a ton to offer?

Getting rid of Crafword at this point is hardly a loss.

I definitely think he still has value, but the odds of him coming anywhere near living up to his contract are pretty much zero.

Beckett can refuse to go to the Dodgers though.

But shyt, why would he?

He won't... He's going to be rejuvenated in the NL West.

Crawford is down after his Tommy John surgery so the Dodgers can get a part time defensive player to play until he's ready.

Sounds like this thing is going down.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
Crawford looked pretty good for the short time he did play this season.

I wouldn't be against keeping him, but it is a long and huge contract so it'd be hard to argue with moving him if they get the chance.

Goodbye Beckett! Can't see him turning down chance to go to LA, especially after how Boston media and fans have treated him the past year.

Adrian Gonzalez is a good hitter, but never put up anywhere close to the power numbers that were expected in Boston. He should have put up 35-40 home runs a year. He seems to be a little dramatic too behind the scenes.
