Per mlbtraderumors.com. Red sox could make him available because he doesn't want to play RF. What package would you put together to throw at the sox?
 
BJ and Gattis for Cespedes. No cash involved.

Would you do it?

In a heartbeat. Even if Cespedes leaves we get put from under that albatross of a contract. Cespedes will give us close to what Gattis would a the plate but be able to play an acceptable left field. I would say we could re-sign both Heywood and JUpton if BJ was off the books.
 
Red Sox dont want BJ or Gattis.

Have you people learned nothing watching the playoffs?
High K's players that are unable to put the ball in play with pitches at the knees are so Steroid Era.

BJ may be like that... I would argue that Cespedes and Gattis are about the same in the arena of strikeout/balls in play... looking at their stats would support this.
 
Cespedes can play a defensive position and stay healthy

But he's expensive and only under control for 1 more yr. Sox of course have the money to resign him, but Gattis brings the same thing offensively and is much cheaper and controllable. And Gattis is at least adequate behind the plate.
