The Red Sox could also make a waiver deal for a corner infielder. While Sean Casey is a suitable replacement for Kevin Youkilis at first, the Sox may want more protection. San Francisco Giants infielder Rich Aurilia is also drawing some interest from the Tampa Bay Rays. Because Boston is behind the Rays in the standings, it could block any move for a hitter to Tampa. The Rays have similar needs now with third baseman Evan Longoria on the disabled list with a fractured wrist. There aren't many third baseman out there. Another interesting name is former Red Sox Mark Loretta, currently with the Houston Astros.
