Dempster is staying with the cubs..
Looks like the Red Sox are dealing CoCo to the Royals for Ramon Ramirez. KC radio is saying it's already a deal while Boston won't comment on it. Ramirez isn't arbitration eligible and should give a good inning or two late in ballgames. Boston is supposedly also trying to buy A.J. Burnett.. and so are the yanks. Should be interesting.
Yanks are also after CC and Lowe. If they get CC, Lowe and Burnett, they could be a force to reason with again.. at least in the regular season
So now, where does this leave Peavy?? Peavy probably won't have room in Chicago, and Boston probably won't make much of a play for him.. so I'm guessing the yanks will make an offer for him, but with the 140 mil they offered up to CC I don't know how much they are willing to offer Peavy.
Boston is in the mix for Tex as well. Although that causes some juggling with Youk and Lowell. Theo is pretty good at thinking outside of the box, so I'm sure some solution will come up if they can land Tex from LA.
And.. then there's Pedro. While he doesn't have what he used to have I'd like to see him go out on a good note. I think he deserves one more season.
Boston is also looking to trade Lugo.. Detroit is supposedly in the mix for him. Which give Jed Lowrie the spot with Alex Cora still the backup. There's some talk in Red Sox nation about the possibility of Lowe coming back to Boston. He likes pitching there.. but it's going to be a numbers game.. how much does he want and how much are the Red Sox really wanting to spend on him.
