8:03pm: Alex Speier of WEEI.com hears that the Red Sox will have to pick up most of Lowell's salary for a deal to go down. Texas would use Lowell at first, third and DH.

Stay Tuned. I will be giving you updates as they come in.

Minus Lowell
Plus Beltre
Plus MaxRam

does this make the sox better? what does maxram offer that victor martinez doesn't?

I think Beltre is an improvement in defense at 3rd, but his offense is about a wash with Lowell whose swing is really good for Fenway. So the Sox are no longer interested in Salty or Teagarden? The guy that intrigues me is elvis andrus, but I doubt the rangers would part with a guy on the upswing like that at the SS position.

It makes us better because Beltre is a great defensive 3rd baseman, and Lowell is very battered and bruised to the point where he can't play everyday. Beltre could also improve his offensive imput from moving from the Mariners, which have one of the worst hitting parks in the league, to Fenway. Max Ramirez could be the young catcher we develop into our future catcher or we deal him in a bigger deal. I like this all the way around for the Sox. It improves them.

Yep anything that happens with the Sox if it's a rumor it will come in here, if its actul news it will be a thread. You bet ya, that's what im here for.

9:24pm: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports hears from a source who says the trade talks aren't currently very far along. The source doesn't see the deal happening now, but at the very least the teams are talking.

Why things keep on going back and forth. Wouldn't be the winter meetings without that.

Thanks for sorting everything out for everyone. Do you ever sleep?

The Red Sox "appear interested" in Mike Cameron, according to Joe McDonald of the Providence Journal.
