January 21, 201115 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/01/heym...medium=facebook •The Red Sox talked to the A's and White Sox about Jonathan Papelbon. Boston appeared willing to offer Rafael Soriano a one-year deal and make him their closer. If the sides had agreed to a deal, the Red Sox would have sent Papelbon elsewhere, likely to Oakland or Chicago

(Unless the Red Sox were going to pay a sizable portion of that contract, but if that were the case, why wouldn't they just non-tender him in the first place?)
January 21, 201115 yr Sureeeeeee. And why the f*** would the A's be a possible destination when they already have a premier closer in Andrew Bailey, who's dirt cheap and not eligible for FA until 2015? Edited January 21, 201115 yr by Jordan4life

Wonder if they'd have gambled on trying him as a starter?

January 21, 201115 yr This would have made sense if we were sending Teahen back in the trade. Then we are only adding $7m to the books and actually saving money in the long run.

The info actually came from Jon Heyman of SI.com. Don't get the MLBTR bashing. It was garbage a long while back, but since making some changes a few years ago has been one of the most valuable resources on the web for compiling and analyzing anything related to roster moves in a fast and comprehensive manner.

I was kidding, I love MLBTR. It's my 7th most visited site ever according to Chrome.
