John Lackey to the Red Sox
Firstly reports are currently suggesting that the Boston Red Sox have tentatively agreed terms of a 5-year deal with John Lackey. The LA Angels ace is ready to sign a worth at least $82.5m.
Lackey, 31, is 102-71 with a 3.81 ERA in eight seasons with the Angels, and he would join Josh Beckett and Jon Lester at the top of a powerhouse rotation in Boston.
The signing of Lackey could reduce the chances of Boston resigning Jason Bay (see earlier post for the importance of this). With $82.5m spent on payroll could mean that Bay or Matt Holliday will not be resigned despite the urgent need in outfield.
Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee close to trade
A reported three way deal that would send Roy Hallday to the Phillies and Cliff Lee to the Seattle Mariners is supposedly very close to being completed.
Halladay is set earn $60m on a three-year deal Philadephia. Toronto who are losing Halladay will attain top prospects from the Philles and the Mariners.
