The Sox were on the verge Friday night of unloading some of their mistakes — Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto — to the Dodgers for prospects, including righthanders Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa, outfielder/first baseman Jerry Sands, first baseman James Loney, and infielder Ivan De Jesus.
If the deal goes through, the Sox will have unloaded approximately $270 million in salaries, though part of the hang-up was concerning how much of the remainder of the contracts of Crawford, Beckett, and Gonzalez the Sox would assume.
The Dodgers would get their power-hitting first baseman in Gonzalez (who has a limited no-trade, but not to the Dodgers), a good defensive player but one who was part of the chemistry problem in the Boston clubhouse, a starting pitcher in Beckett who would solidify the middle of their rotation, Crawford for next season, and Punto as a utilityman.
The Sox needed to get final approval from Beckett, who has 10-5 rights. That approval had not yet come during Friday night’s game against the Royals.
The Sox also placed Jon Lester and Jacoby Ellsbury on trade waivers, and there could be action on them in the next 24 hours as well. In other words, the Sox are hoping to start again with a blank slate.
