Yahoo - The Boston Red Sox have offered at least three players – no-hit pitcher Clay Buchholz(notes), Triple-A pitching prospect Michael Bowden(notes) and top outfield prospect Ryan Westmoreland – to the Toronto Blue Jays for ace Roy Halladay(notes), according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations. Because the Blue Jays, who are vigorously shopping Marco Scutaro(notes), are also looking for a shortstop, the Red Sox may be trying to draw a third team into negotiations to satisfy Toronto’s need.
Rumors..rumors...rumors....
It's funny that the Sox are looking to upgrade their once perceived "deep" starting rotation, when really they need a big bat for their line-up considering 95% of the team is hitting under .300, Big Papi is now Big Floppy, Jason Bay hasn't been on the decline since the 4th week of the season, and J.D. Drew still operates under the worst contract in baseball. I don't believe for a second that this is enough from an inter-division rival to convince JP Richardi to deal Doc, and I don't think Doc will be going anywhere within the AL East. Time will tell. Now if this deal does go through, sorry to say, those gay ass duck boats will still not be needed. No amount of pitching can make up for no offense and no defense.
