The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox and Diamondbacks "clearly feel there is a fit" for a Miguel Montero trade and speculates that "it is only a matter of finding the right match."
According to the newspaper, "the Diamondbacks are seeking only a comparable prospect in return" for Montero, which seemingly differs from a Boston Herald report Monday that suggested Arizona had asked for "Michael Bowden and/or Daniel Bard." If acquired, Montero would likely platoon with Josh Bard and signal the end of Jason Varitek's time in Boston.
This would be the best way to go for the Red Sox. Varitek is not the same catcher and will be another year older. He was a great leader and clubhouse guy but it looks like Youkilis can take over that job. Montero is a great defensive catcher who can hit too. He will also cost a lot less for years to come. Red Sox have pitching to spare so this deal can definitely happen and it should.
