"No, that's not our intent," Cherington said. "We're expecting Jacoby to have a really good year in 2013 and be a huge part of what we're doing."
I wanted to keep you up to date about the winter meetings and Ellsbury's name has been in talk lately. Since signing Shane Victorino a lot of assumptions have been made about Ellsbury being traded since we would have Victorino to replace him... NO! As General Manager Ben Cherington says, "No, that's not our intent," Cherington said. "We're expecting Jacoby to have a really good year in 2013 and be a huge part of what we're doing." Cherington plans on keeping Ellsbury for the 2013 season. He believes that this year he will be able to show who he really is considering he was injured throughout most of the 2012 season. A lot of trade rumors have been going on like Ellsbury for Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee, who is an excellent pitcher. Other talks have been about just trading Ellsbury, period, because we got Victorino. Well Cherington has put those rumors to sleep because it's all in his intent to keep Ellsbury in Boston. I think this is a great decision. Ellsbury is a great player and he was injured this year so he couldn't play a full season. He only got to play 74 games and he was still getting back into the rhythm of himself. This year he will be able to show who he really is and will have a great season and an impact on the Boston Red Sox. I have faith in him, he's not a bad player, he's one of our best. I mean if we traded Ellsbury and got Cliff Lee I wouldn't be extremely mad because we would have a great starting pitcher in our rotation but what do you think? Do you want Ellsbury to be traded?
