I would drop the Brewers lower
They just dont have the pieces to land him, and would have a hard time paying what he is due in 2010.
Only reason the Sox get in on it is to keep him from going to the MFY.

Assuming MFY stand for what I think it does
He’s not going either places. I’m starting to come to terms with the fact Doc might get traded. If he gets traded to the AL, much less the AL east, I’ll drive to Toronto and personally punch JP Riccardi in the junk.

I feel your pain.
And yes, you got it right.

How does that make any sense?
So the Red Sox don’t want arguably the best pitcher in baseball for a few more million than they’re paying Josh Beckett?
I’m not saying that they would be wise to make the deal, particularly considering how much the Jays will want to trade him within the division, but if the Red Sox trade for him, they’re trading for the fact that since 2002 the dude has pitched 1600 innings of 3.16 ERA (144 ERA+ !), 1.129 WHIP with a 4/1 friggin K/BB ratio.
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I meant that they would try to drive up the price out of the MFY' range. Fortunately, they've declared they're out, so the Sox don't have to get involved.
