I would like to start off by thanking my trade partner here for making this a pretty straight forward transaction. That said;
Boston Red Sox confirm and accept the trade of Lackey, Bogaert, & Workman for Delmon Young & 9.875 million in cap relief in 2012 & 15.25 in 2013 & 2014.
This trade was born of necessity, but as I was able to walk away with a solid ML regular at a position of need it's not a complete salary dump. Bogaert is a up and coming hot commodity, but with Middlebrook & Vitek ahead of him in development I feel it's a good move, Workman looks like he will be a solid Joe Saunders type, serviceable but not spectacular. Lackey could be a wild card as he could rebound after rehabbing from TJ, but father time isn't exactly on his side here. Young should be solid if not dependable, and depending how the whole extensions debate plays out, he could be a extension waiting to happen.
