The Red Sox have traded infielder Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox, major league sources told the Globe.
The Red Sox received 25-year-old righthander Zach Stewart and utility player Brent Lillibridge.
The Red Sox also will be picking up $5.5 million of the $6.6 million Youkilis has remaining on his contract for this season. The White Sox would be responsible for a $1 million buyout on a $13 million team option for 2013.
And when a Boston player leaves the confines of Fenway Park, we all know what happens. So, we ask…
Propaganda on the way.

The final option implies Kevin Youkilis has friends. Not even the Boston readership would buy that one.

Youk’s giant chin was taking up too much room on the bench.

Youth movement. He doesn’t fit the team’s ‘new direction’.

With Bobby V in tow, the team exceeded the maximum allowable level of douchebaggery. That meant he or Lackey had to go and Lackey has no value a baseball player or human being.

Ben Cherington: Look at the size of that boy’s heed.
ESPN: Shhh!
Ben Cherington: I’m not kidding, it’s like an orange on a toothpick.
ESPN: Shhh, you’re going to give the boy a complex.
Ben Cherington: Well, that’s a huge noggin. That’s a virtual planetoid.

I will be proud to tell my Grandkids something similar to what was said about Ted Williams… “There goes the ugliest hitter that ever lived.”

Yay! Chicago! I’m finally reunited with the only general manager who ever thought I was close to a cornerstone player! Oh, wait…

He married Tawm Brady’s sister. Their kids will get beat the hell up if they set foot into NY.

What do you mean what will be the inevitable smear campaign? It began with ESPN mole Bsuter, I mean Boston Olney, cliaming the Red Sox had a “toxic” clubhouse and started naming names. Fuck them, the team quit on Francona, a dream to play for and blamed everyone but themselves for the collapse. Instead of getting rid one of the Popeye’s Chicken Posse they make Youk a scapegoat, not that he wasn’t a world clsaa douche nozzle.
Pete C. June 25, 2012 05:24
You think he’s the only one that’s gone has anything to do with the fact that no other teams want any other boston players?
Or is this the beginning of the firesale?

How about how he was a clubhouse cancer? Seems like the obvious choice… he ran Manny out of town, started fights, and was recently taking shots at the manager. Wait for it…
