Re: Jacoby Ellsbury

Quote:
trade him at the deadline if we were out of contention.

Otherwise, give him a qualifying offer next offseason, thank him, and collect the draft pick when he signs elsewhere. Coming back to the original question, what would it take to pry him from Boston?
Boston's looking at it the same way. It would take a whole lot to get him this offseason.

There will be good, less expensive options available.
