IMO, the Red Sox needs by priority:
1. A righthanded power bat that can preferably play 3B or 1B (corner OF would be a last resort).
2. Bullpen help. Really need a closer, but a reliable late innings guy is probably more realistic.
3. Starter. IF Clay Buchholz is going to be okay, this probably isn't a need.
If the Phillies fall further back in the next 10 days-2 weeks, I see them as the Sox most likely dance partner. Michael Young, Jonathan Papelbon and Cliff Lee could all be available.

I see Young, Papelbon and Lee as being out of the Red Sox budget because other teams can make better use of them. The Yankees could wind up with Young if they are concerned that A-roid will be gone for the remainder of the season
Not going by need necessarily, but out of those three individual players I would prefer Lee. He could have a Doyle Alexander/CC Sabathia type impact on a pennant race. Michael Young has a good bat and could lend versatility to the infield. Thanks for the memories, but I want NO part of Papelbon!
What about Matt Garza?? I would like to see the Sox make a play for him, especially if they could end up signing him long-term....
I would love either Garza or James "Big Game" Shields (don't know if the Royals are sellers at this point).
Sorry, quoted from the post on the first page before I saw that one.Yep, as reported in post #8...
But, as reported now in post #12, it may not be the Rangers. It is just as likely to be the Dodgers
Looking more likely that the Dodgers will be getting Garza.

Looks like the pirates may be getting Alex Rios.

Garza pulled from tonight's start, deal reached with the Rangers...
Rangers acquire Matt Garza from Cubs

Yep. I think the Cubs were just using the Dodgers offer to get more out of the Rangers. They did the same with Dempster last year. It was almost a sure thing he was going to the Dodgers.
