Red Sox Rumors

As DP reported earlier the Sox have signed Bard and Penny, he is a look at the rest of the rumors going around.

-Apparently Bard is not enough for the Sox, as there are rumors that the Sox are in contract negotiations with Jason Varitek. No word to how close they are.

- Josh Beckett is feeling well, and seems to have recovered from the injury that bothered him most of last season.

- Mark Kotsay has had trouble finding a home, so the Red Sox could be in the running to bring him back as a 4th outfield/backup 1st baseman.

- Still some reports that the Sox may be interested in Derek Lowe. I don't believe it, but the Sox do like to have a lot of pitching depth, and Wake and/or Penny are sure to go down at some point this season.

- Youk contract negotiations are no closer, and it is looking more and more likely that Youk will sign 1 year deals till he can become a free agent, so that he can receive top dollar.
