Mariners and RedSox trade:

Mariners get: Allen Craig
RedSox get: Brandon Maurer OR Danny Farquhar OR Yoervis Medina

Craig is the 4th or 5th OF after a rough 2014. He would be Mariners everyday RF.
Any of those guys would help the RedSox bullpen.

The Red Sox would take Farquhar and run for the hills, laughing maniacally.

While a healthy Craig is an attractive trade piece, there is no way the M's make this deal with him "as is". Boston could trade Nava or Betts right now for good value, but not Craig or Victorino until they each prove they're healthy. That being said, I'd rather see Seattle acquire Victorino. Yes, his salary is higher, but he's a better bounce back candidate, a better defender in right, and with speed, some pop, and a low strike out rate, would fit in well at #2 between Jackson and Cano.

I expect Craig to bounce back big time.

Victorino, if healthy, would be a good pickup as well for the reasons you said and in the 2 hole.

Craig has had health issues, but check his stats; the guy is really good. I think he will bounce back, and is worth more than a reliever.
