Hoyer: ‘Level of Comfort’ in Potential Deals With Red Sox 12.04.09 at 6:06 pm ET
By Alex Speier

San Diego Padres GM Jed Hoyer, who served as Red Sox Assistant GM through the 2009 season, suggested in a conference call that the Padres would have a “level of comfort” in any potential trade with the Red Sox.

Hoyer suggested that contemplating the likelihood of a trade of Adrian Gonzalez to the Sox would be “just speculation.” That said, with both Hoyer and new Assistant GM Jason McLeod (former the Red Sox amateur scouting director) in San Diego, the Padres suggest that they would have greater confidence in evaluating any players whom they might acquire from Boston in a deal that they would with another club.

“I’m obviously talking totally hypothetically. Any transaction involving the Red Sox, I think there is a level of comfort,” Hoyer said in a conference call. “Most of the players over there were drafted by Jason. For a large part of that, I was the assistant GM. Knowing the player’s background, knowing their personality, there’s a comfort level in that, and frankly, I guess, a lack of risk compared to some other transactions where you don’t have the same level of knowledge. Any transaction involving the Red Sox mentally feels more stable because you certainly know the players. Certainly, putting it in the context of Adrian, that’s just speculation, but it is true that we know those players very well.”

    This sounds like a possible set-up for a trade soon for the Sox and Padres. Both parties know each other, know the players, know each others needs and how far each will go.
    This could be a blockbuster and might put a huge dent in the Sox Minor League system.
    I feel this might provide a negotiating opportunity for the Sox and Jays for Doc–Buchholz,Kelley and Bard are going to SD–you could have those three for the Doc–can you get that much talent from the Yankees?
    Theo loves pitching the Sox need a bat–pitching wins games–AGon would help the lineup–this will be an interesting meeting in Indy.

    FORGET THE GONZALES DEAL, TOO COSTLY. LETS GET UGGLA AND ANDREW MILLER FROM THE FISH FOR BUCHOLTZ/KOTCHMAN MAYBE A LOWER MINOR LEAGUER. LEAVE YOUKILIS AT 1B WHERE HE’S A GOLD GLOVER HAVE UGGLA AT 3B. WHAT WOULD YOU BE GIVING UP? MAYBE 10HR? WE’LL ALSO NEED ANOTHER OF BUT NOT HOLLIDAY, RATHER IT BE BAY OR DYE AND ACTUALLY I’D TAKE 2 YRS OF DYE TO WAIT FOR WESTMORLAND. IF WE ARE GOING TO RANSOM THE FARM” I’D ALSO GET KING FELIX FOR KELLY, BARD, KALISH OR REDDICK.

    Let us not forget that Reagan’s future vp (Bush) and cia chief (Casey) met with the Ayatolla Khomeini behind the back of the then-current Carter administration (treason) and arranged for Iran to keep the American hostages until after the election. In return Iran got, at the very least, a conduit thru which to illegally receive missiles and other armaments–which came to light when traitor Ollie North got busted taking the missile $$$ and giving it to friends in Central America who turned out, naturally enough, to be drug smugglers USA-bound. Ah, the good old days…
