Random Rumors

The unofficial MLB site has this to say:

"Adam Dunn- Red Sox talking to Reds about him...the Padres are talking to the Reds about their outfielders and the Reds are interested in several young Padres' pitchers like Tim Stauffer and Chris Oxspring...PIT could have interest in swapping Kip Wells for Kearns or Pena...Reds are still hopping to net pitching for Kearns or Pena...Cubs and Cards interested in Kearns and Pena"

When it comes to Adam Dunn, I can't think of a single Red Sox player, perhaps outside of Ortiz, who is untouchable. And I don't think the Sox have enough to get him without sending Manny to a third team and using that team's prospect/pitchers to help out in a deal

I can't see the Sox giving up the only arms left in their system to get Dunn.

[Fishercat]

They'd have to trade something like Papelbon, Lester, and something else to even get close to Dunn, and they won't do it. The Sox can deal with Hanley and Anibal for Beckett/Mota/Lowell, but the rest? It'd get ugly.

[Geki Ace]

I can only see three real quality arms in the Sox system, and it'd take them all to get Dunn, probably. If the Red Sox are interested, it'll be a three-way deal.

Hansen/Papelbon/Lester are the three, right?

[Geki Ace]

That's the three I had in mind, yeah.
