Found January 14, 2012 on Pro Sports Daily: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Vicente Padilla
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox,  Los Angeles Dodgers

98508261
The Boston Red Sox are reportedly moving closer to a deal with veteran righthander Vicente Padilla. SI.com reported that Boston's interest in Padilla picked up after he was mentioned in talks with Arizona on Friday. The 34-year-old Padilla made only nine relief appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season before undergoing surgery for a bulging disk in his neck. He had missed the first 20 games of the season while recovering from forearm surgery and went on the 15-day disabled list in mid-May due to a nerve injury in his forearm. Padilla has a 104-90 lifetime record but has been bothered by elbow issues throughout his career.
