Struggling Red Sox look to deal with Toronto
Ken Rosenthal / FOXSports.com

The Red Sox, seeking to boost their offense, are talking to the Blue Jays about a trade for infielder/outfielder Eric Hinske, FOXSports.com has learned.

Hinske, who has cleared waivers, was pulled from the Jays' lineup Wednesday night, though a club official said it was only because the team wanted to play third baseman Troy Glaus.
If a deal with the Red Sox is completed, Hinske presumably would platoon with Wily Mo Pena in right field while Sox right fielder Trot Nixon remains on the disabled list with a strained right biceps.

Hinske, 29, has appeared in 30 games in right this season, more than at any other position. He also has played third base, first and left field.

The Blue Jays have been looking to move Hinske's contract since last off-season. Hinske is owed the balance of his $4.325 million salary this season and $5.6 million next season.

While the Jays also are talking to other teams about Hinske, the Red Sox are perhaps the most logical suitor because of their ability to absorb his contract.
