A-Gonz to Sox, Ells to Cubs, prospects to Padres in 3-team deal???

Phil Rogers of the Chicago Tribune is throwing out the possibility of a deal that would send Ellsbury to the Cubs who REALLY want him, while the Sox get A-Gonz, and the Padres get prospects from the Sox and the Cubs if the Sox can get Bay signed. link

It would be a way to keep Buchholz because Jed would get prime prospects from the Cubs, too. Of course, it all hinges on us getting creative financially to bring in Bay - maybe a low base salary and ridiculously achievable incentives for the season that would trigger a lucrative 2011+ contract?
