I've never heard of there being any reality to the Silver and Black or anyone being close to acquiring Carlos Beltran.......
Also, I think that Kenny Lofton making a second campaign in chicago is very unlikely..... harsh words were thrown around during his departure......
However, I do believe that CF is going to be a problem area this season if there isn't something done. Aaron is hurt(and a asshole right Mike?) Willie is Iffy, and Armando Rios who knows? Maybe brining up Joe B is the answer?
Catcher wise...... I think that Micheal Barret isn't going anywhere..... and the sox seem pretty content with what they have Olivo starting and Sandy backing him up.
