Looks like the BoSox are waving the white flag, monster deal in the works. Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawfod, and Nick Punto looking to go to the Dodgers for prospects and cash.

Looks like this is a done deal!
Though not officially announced, reports have Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto on a plane, in the air, and on the way to LA!

There were some grumblings a few weeks ago that Valentine would be fired after this season.
I think this deal seals him coming back.
The Sox are calling it a move about "Payroll Flexibility", to me this move is to clearly indicate to the team "Who's the boss".
The answer is clearly Bobby V and not Ben Cherrington!
