Red Sox Not Interested In Chris Capuano

Tom Haudricourt and Anthony Witrado of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel asked Brewers' GM Doug Melvin about an Internet rumor: possible interest from Boston in Chris Capuano.  Melvin shot it down, saying he hadn't talked to the Red Sox.  I think I'm slipping - I've been chronicling rumors all week and hadn't heard a whisper of this one.  And I'm on the Internet!

Anyway, Melvin admitted that he might trade some of his pitching surplus before the season begins.  I agree with MLBTR readers that Capuano is the most likely to go.  Just seems like he needs a change of scenery.  Salary comparison: Capuano makes $3.75MM, Claudio Vargas makes $3.6MM, and Dave Bush makes $2.55MM.  Bush has a year less service time than the other two.  The Cardinals would be a great match for any of these guys if they weren't in the Brewers' division.  One fit could be the Rangers, who have an ailing rotation right now.

They have the internet on computers now?

i agree that texas could work? would minnesota be a good fit for any of these guys?

I'm glad no deal was done. Now that Capuano is likely down for the year he can keep Sheets company on his annual DL stint.
