Although the Sox are willing to entertain offers for three starters --
David Wells,
Matt Clement, or
Bronson Arroyo -- the most likely pitcher to be dealt looks like Wells, who made a to-do about rescinding his trade request two weeks ago but has no control over whether the Sox deal him. Given his age (43 in May), uncertain health, and attractiveness on the market
-- Texas and Arizona had scouts present for his appearance in a minor league intrasquad game Thursday -- he could be the one to go. Clement, who has a price tag ($9.5 million) that scares potential suitors, is having an outstanding spring and is an innings-eater, and Arroyo has value as a starter and reliever.
