Swisher to Sox

[JJP]

From what I understand, Beane wasn't looking to trade Swisher but Williams approached him and made him what he felt was a solid offer.

The Sox figure to get the better of this for 2008 but IMO, going from World Series winner, to just missing the playoffs, then to 72 wins shows the team is in a serious slide and should rebuild. This isn't going to help a team that is probably a few years away.
