ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes writes today that a trade of Kevin Youkilis
during this season is inevitable. With fan sentiment leaning toward this option (
see the FN Poll showing plurality support for a trade), it may not be as difficult a decision for new GM Ben Cherington as you might think. Youkilis has obviously been a fan favorite for years, and his departure would be difficult, but he may be ready for the proverbial "change of scenery". As Edes points out, the expanded Wild Card system opens up even more trade targets for a guy who has an epic ability to get on base, and play both corner positions in the infield.
