Red Sox Eyeing Relief Options

I believe he will be a type B free agent, so it must be a sandwich pick.

I bet Ohman goes in the Tex trade.

I could see Geary. They could probably trade a low level prospect (maybe Carter?).

No way Sherrill goes within the divison since hes under control for a couple more years.

Fuentes probably wont get traded either.

Sox aren't getting Geary unless they have an ex-Phillies prospect to send to Houston in return.

I can't imagine Moss would be asking too much. He's a nice, solid player that is unlikely to ever crack the Sox lineup full time. Still, with the Braves relative abundance of young OF, they may be more focused on a pitching prospect.

That would be great if the sox got george sherrill. He is doing awesome for the O's and he would be a great addition to the sox! hopefully delcarmen/hansen will be in the deal. It will be a though deal with other teams interested in him but the sox can pull it off. just hope if we get him he won't be like the guy we got last trade deadline!!! Eric Gagne, what a joke!

Moss for Ohman sounds fair to me. I just don't think thats the position ATL would want. He's a solid prospect and while in the minors was thought of by some as better prospect than David Murphy. Without a real place in Boston I think they would be willing to make that deal and take 2 monthes of Ohman and a pick for Moss.

As much as the sox need to fix the bullpen, I'd be content with a low level move.

NEWSS

Phillies and Royals are close to swapping LHP Ron Mahay and top SS prospect Jason Donald. Seems like a solid addition by the Royals, they were really in need of some middle infielders.

"Left-handed reliever Ron Mahay could be on the verge of heading to the Phillies.

According to clubs that have been speaking with the Royals, they've been having extensive conversations with the Phillies about a trade that would send Mahay to Philadelphia for shortstop prospect Jason Donald, a member of the U.S. Olympic baseball team."

I really do feel bad for you Astros fans.

Your management is f*cking idiotic.

Poppa- stop with the PTI thing already!

Pedroia- what would you think of the O's sending Sherrill, Huff, and Chorye Spoone (borderline Top 100-150 prospect coming into the year, but has had nagging injuries- nothing particularly serious- most of this year) for Jed Lowrie, Michael Bowden, and Chris Carter (the AAA 1B- I feel I need to specify with all the Chris Carters that seem to be out there). Sherrill gives you lefty relief help, Huff is versatile and can help anywhere and provides Ortiz insurance, and Spoone just kinda evens things up a little, since Bowden is, admittedly, an upper tier prospect (though seemingly blocked with the rotation you guys have up there- Beckett, Matsuzaka, Lester, Buchholz, possibly Masterson, Wakefield...where's he fit?) Just another idea...
