@Buster_ESPN: Melky Cabrera's preference is to sign with a team other than the Blue Jays so he doesn't have to play his home games on artificial surface.
The real question in determining Bruce's trade value is whether 2014 was an off year, or whether Bruce is regressing. Seems to be some data/analysis to support both.
Ya I just looked at Boston's pitching staff, and even if they get Lester, its ugly. Without Lester, they're in big trouble, even with Pablo and Hanley signing.
Could this be part of a bigger move of Dickey and Thole being traded? You trade those two guys for nothing as a contract dump, and that frees up almost enough money to sign Lester (AAV).
