Lackey in Talks with Red Sox

Reports say that John Lackey is taking a physical for the Red Sox which indicates that a deal must be close. Lackey would be a welcome addition to the Sox rotation however, he better be amazing in order to make up for the Sox’s losses in the lineup. With Lowell on his way to Texas and Jason Bay now likely to follow the money out of Beantown the Sox lineup will take a big hit. Talks between Boston and Adrian Beltre also seem to have hit a standstill leaving a huge hole in the outfield and at third. With the World Series Champion Yankees adding Curtis Granderson to an already stacked lineup and Boston appearing to be heading in the opposite direction, 2010 could be a long season. Hopefully Theo makes some big changes….and soon!
