Baseball Prospectus | Under The Knife: Hitting Pause: "This remains a pain tolerance issue, and several weeks away from the team don't seem to have cleared that up. One source wondered if Ellsbury would be back in time for the Sox to put him up for trade, saying, 'he's got to go'. This will definitely be a test for the field staff and 'clubhouse leadership' as much as the medical staff."
