They could have easily got someone on the cheap on the free agent market and give them a deal Johnny Damon got from the Indians. J.D. Drew, Marcus Thames, and Aaron Roward are still sitting at home. There's gotta be somebody down on the farm they could use. I'm no expert on the PawSox, but somebody could come up to the big stage for a few weeks to get their outfield sorted out.

Just makes no sense rushing into a trade this early into a season. A trade with the Cubs no less since it took most of the offseason to work out the comp for Theo.
