Looks like this is a done deal!
Though not officially announced, reports have Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, and Nick Punto on a plane, in the air, and on the way to LA!

There were some grumblings a few weeks ago that Valentine would be fired after this season.
I think this deal seals him coming back.
The Sox are calling it a move about "Payroll Flexibility", to me this move is to clearly indicate to the team "Who's the boss".
The answer is clearly Bobby V and not Ben Cherrington!
