According to reports this morning, Roy Oswalt has told the Indians, Blue Jays and Red Sox he's not interested in joining those teams. Apparently, either St. Louis or Texas are the likely landing spots for Oswalt. What this suggests is that Boston is down to two realistic options: trading for Chicago's Gavin Floyd or signing free agent Edwin Jackson. A more remote possibility is that Bud Selig agrees to send Matt Garza to the Red Sox as compensation for Theo Epstein. Short of these moves, we will be left with a rag-tag bunch of has-beens as potential fifth starters.
