Have you heard any names mentioned in particular? I would hope they are looking at younger cost controlled pieces that would be a part of the next core. I would imagine the Sox are going to dip into the abundance of OF prospects at some point to flip.
I hope they stay the rebuild course if they miss out. Don't be foolish with your prospect currency in order to "make a statement," unless it makes sense for the long term. People seem to forget that this is only year 2 of the rebuild.
