Jed Hoyer told The San Diego Union-Tribune, “I want to build from within.”
Does that mean trading your best assets for prospects? Does that mean stacking your farm system? Does that mean trading Adrian Gonzalez to a team that has plenty of prospects to deal?
Gee, I wonder which team has a STACKED farm system and is probably one big bat from being a legit World Series contender.
Would it be too weird to give Theo a call and at least discuss the possibility of maybe trading Adrian Gonzalez to the Red Sox.
It would definitely fuel all of the conspiracy theorists theories. That Jed Hoyer took the Padres GM position so Theo could get Adrian Gonzalez.
Lets not forget, Theo has been drooling over Gonzalez for the past year or so.
It would take balls the size of Bill Belichicks to trade your best player to the team you just left. But the Red Sox may just have the best package to offer for Adrian Gonzalez.
The handling of Adrian Gonzalez will tell us exactly what Jed Hoyer is made of. Trading Gonzalez makes all the sense in the word...especially if your mission truly is to "build from within."
But trading him to your former employer, who had coveted him in the past, just may compromise the integrity of your position and make you come across as a bit immature.
