From Beaver County Times:
The Pirates, as reported by The Times earlier this month, had been considering making a push for Lester for a while. The Pirates are willing to part with a club source called a “significant” package of prospects.
The potential exists for a blockbuster trade. The Pirates also have interest in a pair of Red Sox relievers — closer Koji Uehara and left-hander Andrew Miller — and right-handed hitting outfielder Jonny Gomes.
Starling Marte and Pedro Alvarez also could be included if the Red Sox include players who would be under club control beyond this season such as left-hander Felix Doubront, first baseman/outfielder Mike Carp or third baseman Will Middlebrooks.
I’m not sure if this is legit or it’s some bored sportswriter throwing a bunch of shit at the wall. Either way, I would have no problem with the Red Sox going nuclear. None whatsoever. What they have obviously isnt working and Id rather watch the young guys fail than continue to watch this shit show.
