Well, take your pick of reports—either the Red Sox are already deep in trade negotiations for
Giancarlo Stanton OR they are not even in the "forefront" of the effort to land the MLB home run king. The truth likely lies somewhere in between—but it wouldn't surprise anyone if
Dave Dombrowski takes the much safer route of signing
J.D. Martinez and
either Eric Hosmer or
Carlos Santana to address the offensive funk in the Boston lineup. The latest reporting—by
FanRagSports.com's
Jon Heyman—cites a Marlins source claiming the Red Sox
have not (as yet) been "deeply involved" in the Giancarlo chase. Stay tuned.
