HOLD ON TO YOUR DICKS!!

The Boston Red Sox have agreed to a deal in principle to acquire slugging first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney on Saturday morning.  The Red Sox have received permission from Major League Baseball to negotiate with Gonzalez on a new contract, the sources said, and Gonzalez's physical examination, one of the last hurdles to the deal, could happen Saturday, as Gonzalez was in Boston after being flown in by the team. The Padres would not receive any established major league players in the trade, but it's likely the Red Sox would include their top pitching prospect, Casey Kelly, sources have said. Red Sox prospects Anthony Rizzo and Ryan Kalish also have been brought up as possible pieces, sources said.

Remember everything I said about signing Beltre and not looking to trade for any pieces? Fuck that.  All we have to do is give away prospects? Uhhmmmm Yahtzee. Rumor has it this deal only goes through if Gonzalez agrees to sign an extension before it's finalized, too. Tell the AL East the kings have come back to reclaim their thrown.
