Gammons' Latest: Red Sox, Washburn, DeRosa

In his latest blog post at ESPN.com, Peter Gammons writes that "unless someone comes up with a Justin Smoak, Matt LaPorta or Brett Wallace," the Red Sox will hold on to Brad Penny and enjoy the depth. He says no one will offer up a prospect like that for a few months of Penny.

Here's the rest of Gammons' rumors:

• Takashi Saito is the pitcher on Boston's staff most likely to be traded.
• Jake Peavy and Erik Bedard "probably won't be tradeable before Aug. 1" because of their injuries.
• Jarrod Washburn could be had.
• The Red Sox have talked to the Angels about infielder Maicer Izturis, but the talks haven't gone anywhere
• Mark Mulder "made considerable progress refinding his delivery after one session with pitching coach Rick Peterson."
• The Mets are looking for an outfield bat. They made a run at Mark DeRosa, but wouldn't discuss Bobby Parnell.
• The Cardinals wouldn't discuss Jason Motte or Chris Perez in exchange for DeRosa.
• The uncertain situation surrounding the Cubs' ownership will likely prohibit any major additions.
