According to Andy Martino of the
New York Daily News,
the Red Sox remain "intrigued" by Michael Young as a possible trade deadline acquisition.
The Evil Ones are also considering Young (as both a first
and third base option). Now that the Phillies have sunk to eight full games off the NL East pace (8.5 out of the Wild Card), they may be more motivated to move the 36-year old five-time All-Star. It's still unclear whether the Red Sox are looking for a blockbuster deal to bring them a starter, reliever
and right-handed bat all in one package, or will nibble around the edges with a few smaller deals. Stay tuned!
