Jokes on those teams. The Sox have no prospects in the low minors. Just send them Greenville. Zing!! Greenville - Diaz!

I'm going to guess that either Daniel McGrath or Sergio Gomez is in the deal.

Sean McAdam @sean_McAdam Source: Red Sox will be including three lower level prospects in deal: two pitchers and a position players. None on 40-man roster I'm gunna guess the pitchers are Montas, Almonte or Mercedes. I don't think that they would want Almonte, who is still in the DSL.

Matt Huegel ?@matthuegelsp 1m Sounds like it's Rondon and two lower level pitchers now. RT @alexspeier Correction:Wendell Rijo is NOT in the deal what??? Rondon to whom??? If we get Bruce Rondon some how Cherrington gets GM of the year. No way that Dombrowski gets bossed like that...right??? Must be a typo

I could go see Greenville play in Greensboro tomorrow if they had any interesting players.

McGrath? Buttrey? Callahan? Kukuk? Mercedes? Montas? Take your pick.

Kind of want to hang on to Buttrey and McGrath. Could see Kukuk going.

I have a feeling that they are going to get Buttrey, I don't know why and I don't like it but I do.

I knew we were eventually going to lose Buttery when we released Gregory Titts.

Xander Bogaerts is 18 months older than Cleluis Rondon.

If I have this right, Middlebrooks inability to hit this summer results in the Red Sox giving Iglesias a chance to play and eventually acquiring Peavy. Thank you Middlebrooks?
Or how about Iglesias Spring - Benched in AAA for attitude problems Mid-summer- A.L. Rookie of the month End of summer - The door is on your right

Kind of want to hang on to Buttrey and McGrath. Could see Kukuk going. Me too but so far Iglesias and Rondon aren't much of a price to pay so we can't get too upset over an unproven prospect 4 or 5 years away. Iglesias is palatable with Bogaerts ready soon and Marrero down the road with a little less glove but a little more stick. Rondon doesn't register for me. Sounds like a win for Ben tonight to me!

Ben stole Peavy and picked up a solid bullpen arm too

The more details that come in, the more I like this deal.

So I'll be the first and seemingly only person on this forum to not like this move. It does make me wonder if they think buch will be back at all. Makes more sense if he won't be.
Should have just thrown 5 mil more at peavy in offseason.
Here's to hoping I continue my always wrong streak.

Say if the Sox do trade Buttery. This was a guy who was paid overslot with good upside who was in XST to start the year. I like his makeup but in order to get a good pitcher like Peavy that is in a weird way a good financial bet (compared to playing in FA) you need to give up these players. The one guy in A ball I would have been pissed about was Rijo. You cannot hate this trade for Boston. They got an excellent #2 borderline #1 when healthy for a package headed by a SS who some posters wanted to DFA in March. There is no downside to this deal especially since the team will still have a borderline top 5 farm system.

They gave up very little. What are they losing in Iglesias?

Tigers' left side = extreme example of good hit no glove 3b + divine glove no hit SS

This is also a vote of confidence for WMB in a way, no? Next year it's Xander at short and WMB at third, instead of Iggy at SS and Xander at third.
