From Rotoworld

According to WEEI, the Red Sox are close to a trade that would send Cliff Lee to Boston for a package of Michael Bowden, Josh Reddick, and one more prospect.

just saw this, would be a great deal especially if we dont give up Buchholz although Josh Redickk is one of my favorite players in the farm but definitely worth it.

Should be interesting to see how the Lee deal affects what happens with Halladay and if Victor Martinez is moved.

5:40pm: Well isn't this ridiculous. Rob Bradford at WEEI tweets: "I have not reported anything. Somebody is hacking into my account."

5:35pm: Kovacevic has updated his previous report, saying that "primary" talks about Sanchez have been with the Giants, and they "were believed to have intensifed last night." But Kovacevic says the Twins are still in the mix as well.

3:28pm: A Pirates official tells Kovacevic that the club doesn't need to move either Sanchez or Wilson and won't trade them unless they see a good offer.

Meanwhile, Jon Heyman of SI.com hears that the Giants are pretty seriously involved in talks for Sanchez.

looks like were getting sanchez

2:20pm: SI.com's Jon Heyman says the Giants are in serious talks for Sanchez. The teams are discussing John Bowker, Kevin Frandsen and Jesus Guzman.

2:04pm: Joel Sherman of the New York Post hears that the Giants are "definitely getting Freddy Sanchez." The Pirates already traded Jack Wilson today, so they could conceviably lose their entire double play combo in one day.

The Reds should stick this guy in LF for the rest of the season, and give him 225 AB's to win the job. He's 25.

J. Gomes is better off the bench anyway. Same for Lance Nix.

Tigers still need another hitter. Hopefully something comes up.

Rockies just made a deal. MLB TV's trade deadline show is gay as hell. Whenever a deal happens they say something like, "Speaking of the rockies they just made a deal, we'll tell you who it is right after this..."

lol at Tom Haudricourt's (Brewer's Beat writer) twitter:

The Reds getting Scott Rolen is like putting an extra row boat on the Titanic.

[Goober]

Still unknown whether or not a Heath Bell trade got done.

[Goober]

Jake Peavy traded to white sox.

No one knows if it got done in time or not.

Also:

Jays have dealt a frequent All-Star. His name is not Roy Halladay.
