From NESN: The Red Sox need a shortstop. Julio Lugo is not good. Jed Lowrie is not healthy. After asking around on virtually every shortstop in the Majors, we read this...
In addition, the Red Sox allegedly have interest in the Phillies’ Jason Donald, a 24-year-old minor leaguer that could be part of a Brad Penny trade, and the Astros’ Miguel Tejada.
Tejada is having a great year, hitting .354 with 27 extra-base hits, but the ‘Stros sit at 25-30 and last in their division. He’s in the final season of his 6-year, $72 million contract, meaning Houston will probably want to move him for something before he becomes a free agent.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
