    The Boston Red Sox have reached a preliminary agreement to trade third baseman Mike Lowell to the Texas Rangers for catcher Max Ramirez, sources told ESPN.

    The Red Sox will pay $9 million of Lowell's $12 million salary.


    I don't understand why they're paying 70% of his salary. He was injured all last year, and now we need to find another bat option. Was getting the $3 million back THAT important?

    The Phillies & Angels make offers for Halladay

    I hope he gets dealt out of the division

    JA Happ + Dominic Brown would be a steal of epic proportions. Well, Happ should regress slightly, but that's certainly better than the turds Anaheim is offering up.

    If Hamels gets included, the Phillies are retarded.

    Red Sox signed Boof Bonser, I feel like the sign people for the sake of it.

    a "mystery team" has offered Jason Bay a big contract, and it isn't the Mets or Red Sox.

    Heard on WFAN that Lackey is undergoing a physical for the Red Sox, indicating that a contract signing could be imminent.

    Rumor is that it's similar to Burnett's.

    Jon Heyman reporting the Sox deal is done.
    85 mill for 5 years to Lackey.

    Halladay to the Angels now?

    That's interesting, I would think the Phillies would wanna keep Cliff Lee

    oooooh god the Mets are screwed....

    even if we get Bay, it won't be enough to compete with Philly for the next 3+ years..

    If Lee has been traded (Phillies rather pay for Halladay then pay big for Lee), they literally are replacing an ace with an ace.

    Mariners would have a great combo in Lee/King Felix.

    ooooohh...the Phillies have some sweet prospects....i'm hoping the Phillies finally broke down and included Kyle Drabek in the deal.

    Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez....that rotation is shaping up nicely in Seattle.
