      Rumor has it there is interest to bring Prince Fielder to the Red Sox for a package of young players. This actually might have more legs then meets the eye, if the Sox got Fielder they would have to move Youk to 3rd and trade Lowell or trade Ortiz which isn’t going to happen. There were rumors the Sox and Rangers talked about Micheal Young coming to Boston because Young has demanded a trade because he has been told he is going to be playing 3rd base next year. So if the Sox were to trade for Fielder then flip Lowell to the Rangers for Young that would eliminate a lot of concern about the Boston lineup, and make a lot of sense for the Rangers and Sox.

Elsbury

Pedroia

Ortiz

Fielder

Youkilus 

Young

Drew

Bay

Bard or Tek????

That does make sense but with the size of Young's contract and his age I don't see him coming to the Sox.

well its defferd money so should be about 9-10 mill with the rangers picking up some of it makes real sence but who knows

January 14, 2009  07:36 AM ET

His age is 32, but he only made $6M last year

I don't see it with Lars Anderson waiting in the wings. Why would they pay that kind of money for a 1B with a really good prospect coming up?

Cause Lars Anderson or Fielder will move into the DH role in a year or 2.

ya rumour has it that barry bonds and roger clemens are going to sox as well.

Cause if the get Fielder then Lars will be in Milwaukee..unless you think the Sox are getting him for free?

January 14, 2009  02:06 PM ET

Milwaukee is more interested in pitching

January 14, 2009  07:28 PM ET

Michael Young on the Sox would make them the best in Baseball!
Go BoSox

January 14, 2009  08:24 PM ET

young would be a nice pickup...but it aint gonna happen for just lowell...

January 14, 2009  08:57 PM ET

It would happen for free!!!!!!! Texas will be desperately trying to get rid of him, he has one of the worst contracts in the league there are only 4 or 5 teams that can even take him on. Texas should have to take Lugo or no deal, and they should be so lucky to get an constant pro in Lowell
