That's how we got Dougie Hamilton and many thought that was ridiculous before it happened. It's a process.
Fact is both guys had mediocre years and could be available. Jersey is rebuilding and might be willing to be bad for a few years. Boston has moved big names several times in the past.

Pie in the sky is something you will hope will happen but is very unlikely to happen. You pretty much defined it as that with your own 2% probability.
I agree though, you make the call and do what you can because you never know.
