Source: No-trade wouldn’t impact Red Sox’ chances of landing Asdrubal Cabrera 12.03.12 at 2:21 pm ET
By Alex Speier

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A source confirmed to WEEI.com Monday that the Red Sox are one of six teams on Asdrubal Cabrera‘s no-trade list. However, the source indicated the clause would not be an impediment to any deal and that shortstop would be open to a trade.

Cabrera’s limited no-trade clause simply represents a form of leverage in the event that a deal involving the 27-year-old were to be struck. The list consists of the Sox, Yankees, Tigers, Nationals, Giants and Mets.

An All-Star in each of the last two seasons, the switch-hitting Cabrera hit .270/.338/.423 last season with 16 homers, 68 RBI and nine stolen bases.

    Bring him to Yawkee Way. He fits perfect and I love that he is a switch hitter and has amazing contact every time he steps to the plate.

    I would just want Cabrera. I feel the other pieces that were originally involved Masterson and the OF blanking on his name right now. They would make the deal too costly to the sox. Id just go after Cabrera.

    Now, that’s a type of player that you think of as an “IMPACT”. He fits nicely and he’s also in his prime 27. Get this guy Larry !!!!

    I believe ST.LOUIS would be the ideal place for him to go… and once there, the city and the fans would make it abundantly clear that he made the right decision !!! GO CARDS !!!

    Don’t waste any money or give up any prospects for a SS when you have Xander coming in a couple years.

  • Jeffsharlamo

    Go for it Just dont give up to much and see if Masterson could somehow be included

  • Spellbinde

    Lavarnway and Bard should get the As-Man.

  • Ncponydirector

    Why not go to the A’s for SP A.J. Griffin, top prospect Grant Green or AAA prospect third baseman (not on the 40 man roster) Stephen Parker. There is no way the Red Sox give up Lavarnway and everyone is suspect. Griffin proved he could pitch in the big leagues last year and was lights out as a rookie.

  • Spellbinde

    No need for 2B (Green) or 3B (Parker).  Deal from excess (catcher) for a 3 year shortstop and try to win until Boegarts is up.

    Retire with dignity

  • Koby

    The guy averages 1 sack per season. Shouldn’t he have some more sacks? Who would he back up for Pats, Love, Wilfork?

    I don’t get why some of you guys are so concerned with past performance. The idea it get them on your team when they perform…if all these teams are interested in this guy, there must be a reason.

  • Dano S

    Vaughn Martin would be a nice signing for Pats.Pats Predictions 61.0
    Julian Edelman, Eric Winston OT Chiefs, Shaun Phillips OLB/DE Chargers,
    Abram Elam S Chiefs, James Anderson OLB Panthers and Sedrick Ellis DT Saints.
    Draft 1 Traded for 2 and 3rd round picks 2 Jamie Collins OLB Southern Miss.
    2 Kyle Long G/OT Oregon 3 Pick to Pittsburgh for Emmanuel Sanders
    3 Cornelius Washington DE Georgia 7 Brandon McGee CB Miami
    7 Dennis Johnson RB Arkansas.

    I think the pats have spent their budgeted amount to date and are in holding pattern right now. that must expalin why the screeching halt with respect to Abraham, Sanders, etc.

    No it is called they want to take the bottom of the barrel players. Freeney goes and this stiff is what they serve up, and maybe, just maybe Abraham will be desperate enough to take (be happy to take) the Pats offer. I am sick of the same results the past few years, and Super Bowls are what we led to believe this team is ready for EVERY season. They do not look like it right now, and it is time to change the Patriot Way!

  • Peter Griffin

    Dont see him lasting until the 2nd round

    This sounds like the one right here.
    personally i’d trade a 2nd and 1st to move up six spots to get this guy.
