Glaus to Boston rumor: Not a bad idea

[speedy27]

looks like he might be headed to Toronto?

Even though GM J.P. Ricciardi denies there are any talks going on at all, the Diamondbacks and Blue Jays could be moving closer to a trade that would send Troy Glaus to Toronto for Orlando Hudson and Miguel Batista.
The Jays may also get a second player in return. Hurdles remain, however. Glaus can block the trade to Toronto and likely would do so without some additional money to make up for Canada's higher tax rate. He also could be unwilling to DH, requiring that the Blue Jays find a way to move Corey Koskie. Glaus can be traded to Boston or Baltimore without his permission, so the Diamondbacks will keep exploring the other options. Dec. 23 - 1:26 pm et

Haha! Good luck with that!

I really hope the Jays don't make that trade.

Perhaps Lowell would become trade bait after Boston gets Glaus??

Lowell is anti-trade bait with the salary he's carrying around right now.

i remember earlier there was a angels-d'back-red sox rumor floating around. manny to angels, glaus to red sox, and some top prospects from both sides to d'backs.

I don't like that trade one bit.

wow what a terrible typo. manny to angels*.

The Diamondbacks and the Blue Jays are on the verge of a finalizing a Troy Glaus deal, a person familiar with the talks told ESPN's Peter Gammons.
The Diamondbacks would receive Orlando Hudson and Miguel Batista and send a prospect back to Toronto. There's still no indication that Glaus is willing to waive his no-trade protection and head to Toronto, where he'd probably be a DH unless something could be worked out. Dec. 23 - 4:11 pm et

I don't know why Toronto hasn't unloaded guys like Hinske & Shea yet and then be on the edge of getting Glaus

[John Kemp]

As we see Glaus is going to the Jays.. Once again, the Red Sox cannot get that big hitter type like Glaus.. They signed John Flarety and are looking into Corey Patterson (whoo hoo).. Again Not to sound so damn negative in such a joyous season, but the Red Sox ain't done noting this year people.. Josh "Blister" Beckett cannot save this team alone.. Mike Lowell is a declining 3rd baseman (see stats)and Marte will be nice in 2008.. But for now they are a very 3rd to 4th place team.. The Yanks and Jays will fight for the AL title this year if the Sox do not go out and get some help quick!

I tend to agree with mr Kemp.
the only thing better than Christmas this time of year is watching the Red Sox get punked in the offseason ..
