        <body>Excellent trade. Essentially got a starter for Crisp. Bucholz for Salty makes sense on both sides. Lester is untouchable.</body>

        <body>Good move.  Boston gets an arm and KC gets a leadoff hitter and gold glove.  Plus, KC can now move one of their outfielders.  Good all around.

        <body>Coco was the best CF Boston had, and his hitting in September and the postseason was critical.  Nice to see him get a deserved starting gig.

If Boston didn't eat any salary, this is a huge move to get a solid MR for tiny dollars who is under control through 2012 and free up cash.

Royals can now trade DeJesus to the Cubs.  I cannot see the cubbies taking Teahen when DeJesus is also on the block.</body>

        <body>This was a good deal for both teams.  KC gets a proven veteran who is a great defensive OF and a very good baserunner.  Boston unclogs their OF and gets a solid RP who will improve depth in the bullpen.  It will be interesting to see how Theo approaches his hole at catcher now.  The Sox have a lot of young arms...

Coco will be missed but this deal had to be done.</body>
