If #RedSox seriously intend to re-sign Ellsbury and invest money in a speedy OF w/ pop, they COULD trade Crawford. Don't have to, though...

But if #RedSox think, 'we have Ells now, enough OF production. Let's add and win now!' and have no shot at extending Ells, it's asinine.

Crawford may not be GREAT player for #RedSox 5 years down the road. But he will be GOOD and UNDER CONTRACT.

If #RedSox make a move to appease fans angry w/ CC's performance & try in vain to win in 2012, they won't break their chain of asshatedness.

Yes, it's awful, and I feel for those killed. But I can't read past 'Breaking: Burgas, Bulgaria Bus Bombing.' #IDoNotLikeGreenEggsAndHam

Why would you assume that? MT Goggles Paisano umm, Hanley would play third base, Chad. My guess is Middlebrooks would be part of the trade.

I like to think this was a preemptive tweet. But I know the Twittersphere better than that. RT @jennaaay1017: Don't ask me...I don't know.

Baseball analyst perspective: Right move for both #Yankees and #Mariners. NYY gets cheap upgrade, SEA dumps 38-yo FA-to-be they don't need.

Baseball fan perspective: How the shit is Ichiro a Yankee?! Damn it! I hate you all! I still love you, Ichiro. Damn it!

I know in my mind he's not the same Ichiro. The Smoltz-on-the-Red-Sox chapter. But in my heart, beyond all the meaninglessness, I'm sick.

Under all the metrics and baseball business I have learned is an 11-year-old boy amazed that the MARINERS, of all teams, got that player.

And kept watching, thinking, 'even though they have never won anything, Ichiro.' The man who could have easily beaten Rose's hits record.

And now, despite this trade making perfect sense, and despite being fairly numb to ordinary pangs of roster moves, MY GOD that stings.

By the way, the Ichiro deal TOTALLY upstaged Sanchez/Infante for Turner. DET-MIA is a much bigger trade. But far less fascinating.

Good. RT Joel Sherman: Next yr HOU/NYY will both pay $8.5M to #Pirates of Wandy/Burnett salaries. Pit build rotations on other people's $

I need to pay more attention to him. For some reason he thinks #Crew will lead to #Brewers talk. RT Drew Silva: Heyman just hashtagged groin.
