Continuing the theme of the 'Lost Off-Season',
the Red Sox lost out on LHP Gio Gonzalez, as the Washington Nationals dealt four top prospects to Oakland. The prospects are A.J. Cole, Brad Peacock, Derek Norris and Tommy Milone. Once again, Billy Beane has dealt away pitching for solid building blocks. Let's hope the Andrew Bailey trade is still in the works, and the Red Sox get something out of this dance. This is getting embarrassing, folks.
