I would do that trade. It would be hard to give up Hos, but worth it...
I love Hosmer, but David Price is controlled almost as long (FA in 2016 vs. FA in 2017). There's also the possibility of negotiating an extension that buys out a few FA years in return for more up front.

Hosmer did not get a full year of service time in 2011. He's not a free agent until 2018, so we're talking 2 extra years of control. Those 2 extra years add value to Hosmer compared to David Price, its just a shame he struggled this season.
