I believe they will pull off two deals, one for a bat and another for a pitcher who can go 7 innings. The Sox will give up two on the current 40 man roster and two prospects. I would not be surprised if LaRouche, Penny and Smoltz are not on the roster on tomorrow. 6304889 2009-07-31T10:24:01-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/819/355/thumb/dp.jpg 206 OH bosox4life 820015 Expect to pull off a deal that was not speculated or anticipated, including players previously considered untouchable.

The Twins will move him to first base or DH. If anyone leaves, it'd be Morneau. 6304099 2009-07-31T04:42:45-04:00 64 NJ PherrisPhain Willingboro 764424 3 Clay Buchholz has been a top prospect for how long now?

Then, in a year and a half when Joe Mauer is a free agent the Sox won't be putting in offers for Mauer and he'll come straight to the Yankees. 6304020 2009-07-31T08:09:14-04:00 72 FL fideauxdon Ormond Beach 261159 5 &quot;Clay Buchholz has been a top prospect for how long now?

Unless Lowell is done, Gonzo doesn't make sense. I think realistically, Boston gets, or doesn't get, Martinez. 6303504 2009-07-31T08:00:44-04:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/864/54/thumb/RedSoxFan.jpg 498 MN SoxNationinMN 86754 Boston's too jacked up for Gonzo. Unless Lowell is done, Gonzo doesn't make sense. I think realistically, Boston gets, or doesn't get, Martinez. 4 If they go after Gonzo, either Lowell or Ortiz is history. If Lowell, he'll be dealt to another team. If Ortiz, he'll be outright released. (the remaining player will be the DH for the bulk of the rest of the season. I'd much rather see them go after Gonzo than Martinez. Tek's bat is not what it once was, but he is good defensively (arm not included) and great with the staff. Martinez is average at best defensively, but can hit the cover off the ball. I've said it before - there will be a jaw-dropping, multi-team, multi-player deal made today which will be similar to the Garciaparra trade of '04. 6303831 2009-07-31T04:42:45-04:00 64 NJ PherrisPhain Willingboro 764424 3 Clay Buchholz has been a top prospect for how long now? It seems like an eternity to me. 6303576 12 <p>The Red Sox appear to be involved in almost all the big players on the trade market, including <strong>Adrian Gonzalez</strong>, <strong>Victor Martinez</strong> and <strong>Roy Halladay</strong>.</p> <p>Teams were trying to figure out which way they'd go, but one competing exec said he believes Gonzalez would be preferred to Martinez because he's an even more powerful middle-of-the-order bat. Of course, his price tag is higher, as well, and the Padres have made clear it won't be easy to deal the popular, powerful local product.</p> <p>Some thought Boston even had a chance at Halladay. However, it's tough to see them paying a premium price in prospects to their intradivisional rival.</p> <p>While <strong>Clay Buchholz</strong> is a top pitching prospect who's big-league ready, competing execs say they believe the true untouchables may be pitcher <strong>Casey Kelly</strong> and outfielder <strong>Ryan Westmoreland.</strong> Westmoreland is a&nbsp;Rhode Island product and apparently the Red Sox love his story.</p> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 72602
