The San Francisco Chronicle reports that the Red Sox have asked the Giants about acquiring Armando Benitez.
"I've heard the rumors," Benitez said. "That's all right. I can't think about that. I just have to get myself ready. I know what I can do. When I'm healthy, there aren't too many people who can do what I do." The Giants would pay a portion of Benitez's salary if it meant getting a quality prospect in return for him. The Red Sox surely will want to see more from Benitez this spring before they consider giving up legitimate talent.
We still have to wait and see just how well Wilson does. If he continues to struggle, we can't afford to lose Benitez.
