The Florida Marlins talked to the Red Sox about a trade for third baseman Miguel Cabrera this week. According to SI.com the asking price for obtaining the fish’s pudgy infielder was Jacoby Ellsbury and Clay Buchholz! Anyone who watched the Sox in the second half knows that Jacoby is going to be a star and Buchholz already has a no-hitter under his belt. I don’t think there is any member of Red Sox Nation who would trade either one of those rookies for Cabrera. To think that the Sox might give up both is as crazy as putting an asterisk next to the the Pats when they go undefeated this season. Doesn’t this trade deal sound like one of the offers you get from the new guy in your fantasy league at the beginning of the season?
