Chisox / Redsox trade

[Boston Red Sox]

Redsox send:

anderson espinoza SP
.2 minors
Nick Delmonico 3B
1.7 minors

Chisox send:

Justin Bour 1B 1.08/2.16/arb1/arb2/arb3/ufa
Colby Rasmus LF
5/ufa


Redsox feel Bour can help our lineup in the utility spot and as a backup plan to a Jose Abreu injury/extended slump. Colby rasmus is needed now to help fill the gap until Starling Marte lays off the juice. Espinoza/Delmonico may be a steep price to pay, but espinoza's recent injury issues have the redsox concerned,and ultimately we are in more of a win now mentality.

[Chicago White Sox]

Chicago picks up another one of the top pitching prospects in the game and a good 3b prospect as well. This is in line with the estimated time of the farm boom for the white sox. The white sox gave up bour who is a serviceable 1b and Rasmus who severely dipped last season. It's a win for both teams, Red Sox now and white sox future

[Colorado Rockies]

Trade has been vetoed and reversed. The result of this trade leads to an illegal roster for CHW.
