Red Sox unlikely to add starting pitcher?

Cross Jackson off the list. Reports are he's signing with the Nats at some point this afternoon or evening.

The Red Sox WILL add a starter and I look for them to do it within the next week or so. Edwin Jackson has several offers on the table but if he really wants to prove his worth and go for a multi year contract for next year, what better place to prove himself than the AL East?

Remember Beltre? I'm a little wary about signing Oswalt after all the back problems. The last thing the Sox need is another name on the DL.

Nats just signed Jackson...

I'm sure if they have on going negotiations with Jackson, Oswalt, and Chicago about Floyd, he's not going to say anything publicly to damage any progress or show his hand as to which direction they may be leaning towards going in. It's all just business strategy. Still a few weeks left until pitchers/catchers report for things to unfold.

John Lannan is available from the Nats. They want to dump his $5 million contract to help pay for E. Jackson. Decent lefty for the bottom of a rotation.

Ben Cherington is delusional if he thinks they can contend with that collection of arms which he thinks is a pitching staff. He's been a major disappointment as a GM.

Boston fans are losers!

I am falling in love with David Ortiz's pants. He makes my balls sweat. Feeling hot hot hot! My fever is to the boiling point!

red sox stink....who cares

Pancho asked me how my tiny tater tot was doing. I told him none of his business. He needs to stop being so fruitty.

I see Furdly is still here, thumbing down non-controversial baseball posts with his many yahoo accounts. Are you voting in the upcoming Arizona caucus?

Boston's big back up first baseman, Lars Anderson is available. We almost got him until Boston balked on Hardin's health. Lannan for Anderson would be good for both teams and players.

The Sox need more roiders. Guys who like steroids,beer, and chicken.

Who gives a rat's #$%$ Does it really matter who pitches for the Red Sox? I hope they collapse again this year. May September haunt them forever!!!!!

I'm not exactly sure who this Cherington fella is, but what I do know is he very well may go down as the worst GM in MLB history, certainly Red Sox history! This offseason has been a joke! The collection of ragtag, has-been arms he's assembled couldn't hold a sub 4.00 ERA at Pawtucket! Seriously...Padilla, Cook, Maine??? And that's to help a long reliever, Aceves, and a 2nd year set-up man converting to a starter, Bard. Anyone forget that Beckett had his first healthy season in 3 years, Buchholz had back issues last season, that leaves Jon Lester as our 1 healthy, solid starting pitcher! If this GM had any sense about him, he wouldn't have traded Lowrie, I like the Scutaro dump, but now we have a platoon at SS. RF could've been handled alot better than signing Cody Ross. Beltran would have been a great fit! The back end of the bullpen looks ok, not great, but maybe just good enough to get by. I would've really like to have seen the Sox sign Beltran, trade for Matt Garza, Theo knows our prospects best-easy trade partner and the Cubs are rebuilding, and we could've also made arun at a decent IF to help out. All of this could've been done and still stayed under the Luxury Tax cap. Cherington should be running the Hot Dog stand for the Portland Sea Dogs, not making personnel moves for the Red Sox!!!

Since this is a baseball post, who is Brady? I know, utility infielder--right?

They will wait till July 31st and figure out what to do, probably will also at that point realize that NYY and TB are way to strong to fight. I think the Bo Sox will be sellers. U heard it first here.

He may be playing a little mental advantage or ,even though you can never have enough pitching, they may already have enough which I believe they do.

This board has less personality then Bill Belichek and for sure that Myra Kraft is better looking then anyones posting heres wife... east coast only(minus Fresno)

I guess po- le smoke- er is a bad word
