Tzu-Wei Lin & Bobby Poyner & a PTBNL or cash for Will Smith You do know that Smith would have to go unclaimed by the other 28 teams before the Red Sox could deal for him, correct? And the odds that nobody claims him before he falls to the Red Sox is virtually zero.

He's exactly what the Red Sox pen needs & if he became a available DD should pay the price

Tzu-Wei Lin & Bobby Poyner & a PTBNL or cash for Will Smith I'm not sure if Poyner would be enough to get a proven lefty closer in the tough NL West when they know we need lefty help. Also there are a lot of other teams that can offer better deals. I sure do like the thought process though! I'm just not sure how his stuff would play against the Indians and Yanks. That low 90s fastball and low 80s slider doesn't jump out at you. This Melanson constantly in question and Strickland still working his way back (his rise would be what gets us Smith) a lot of things have to go right. I was kind of hoping for a guy like Jose Alvarado or maybe even Amir Garrett no matter the cost with him.
