<< <i>It sounds like the trade talks aren't going anywhere which is too bad for the Red Sox. Hanley Ramirez is one of the few players that I wouldn't mind trading the farm for. It wouldn't make sense for the Marlins to trade him right now though. His contract is relatively cheap compared to what they get from him. >>
I thought Ramirez had a sixty or seventy million dollar extension that kicked in next year? I don't follow the Marlins though.
Ramirez is one of the top 10 all-around offensive players in baseball, at relatively cheap dollars (6 yrs, $70M)....Ellsbury will be lucky to ever crack the top 50, and who knows what Buchholz will turn into...I don't necessarily like giving up pitching, but they have a ton of young arms on the farm and on the Sox, so giving up Buchholz isn't that big a deal to me.
I think the plan would be to move Ramirez to CF, since he is pretty bad defensively.
