Red Sox should go all out and get Josh Johnson. Maybe offer Barnes, Ranaudo, Bard, and Sweeny. But aside for that, just put your trade deadline ideas and thoughts down below?

Because we probably won't know what trade offers Ben Cherington declined, and what trade offers he made, it's probably unfair to second-guess Cherington after the trade deadline passes.

If the Red Sox complete a trade, I guess we can say we would or would not trade that player (or those players) for that player (or those players). But most of what we know after-the-fact about the market is from what we learn about the announced trades.
