McAdam On Red Sox Trade Possibilities

... It seems that the Red Sox will add a bullpen arm despite the fine work of Manny Delcarmen.  Apparently they want someone with experience.  Eric Gagne doesn't seem likely, nor does Brad Lidge.  Instead, Chad Qualls, Dan Wheeler, and maybe Salomon Torres or Scott Linebrink could be acquired.  The focus is said to be on the Houston relievers.  Wheeler seems like a solid buy-low option.  You can add Octavio Dotel to the radar as well.  UPDATE: Today, ...

(Or, actually, the story says the Royals are denying a report by a Chicago radio station that the Cubs want Greinke. Whatever.) If the Cubs do get Zack, and try to make him a starter again, the kid will crack and be out of baseball in two years. ...

Trade Rumors - Chicago Cubs

... With that recognition aside, let's get back to that which does draw our interest.  Everyone following the trade rumor circuit has their eyes peeled on the Kansas City Royals.  With cheap veterans to deal, teams in need of almost anything can start in Kansas City.  This belief seems so pervasive that the Kansas City Star reports that the Cubs were inquiring about reliever Zach Greinke and that the Royals were open to dealing him - at the right price. ...
