As first reported by FoxSports.com’s Jon Paul Morosi, the Boston Red Sox are still interested in trading for Chicago White Sox RHP Gavin Floyd who the Red Sox have had discussions about with Chicago during the Winter Meetings in December along with John Danks.
Floyd is set to earn $7.5 million this season as the White Sox are still listening to offers for the 28-year old. His contract also includes a $9.5 million club option for 2013.
There are still a few quality starters on the free agent market so the White Sox could be obliged to send Floyd for a package of quality prospects. We’ll see what the White Sox do in the coming days.

I was in the process of trying to finish up my 2012 second base keeper rankings when the name Gordon Beckham came across my eyes. Unlike most of the players I was ranking toward the bottom half of the list, Beckham struck me as one that, in some ways, shouldn't be there. But why? What has made this former first round pick (8th overall and rated as the 20th best prospect in baseball...

The good thing is that we'll be able to listen to Terry Francona every Sunday night since he'll be a part of the broadcast crew replacing new Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine. I do have to wonder...

The Boston Red Sox generate about as much attention as any major sports team in the country. With the exception of the Yankees, Montreal Canadiens and probably a few college football teams the Red Sox get a level of coverage and scrutiny that is rarely exceeded.As a result this leaves little in the way of the unexpected. Every year we see that notion dismissed though with Daniel...
