Adrian Gonzalez Available?

It’s the offseason, so speculation abounds. I read where the Red Sox are expected to make another push for Adrian Gonzalez. No big surprise there. I realize none of us actually know, but we can play the guessing game, too. What does the expert DRB community think of the chances that Gonzo lands in Beantown this offseason?

Furthermore, do you think the Rays should go after him as well and what might the trade package have to look like in order to acquire him? Would it be worth it?

I personally get very giddy at the thought of Gonzalez hitting in the middle of the Rays lineup, but I’m not sure he’d be worth an expected package of Wade Davis, Briggy, plus more. I’d be way more excited about sending Pena, Bartlett and some minor leaguers not named Deezy or Hellickson that way – which probably means a deal doesn’t get done.

Ultimately, any rosterbation has to consider whatever strategy the new GM in San Diego might have and obviously we have no idea since there isn’t one in place yet.

Anyway, just curious as to some general thoughts on the matter…
