Cafardo says Ellsbury will not be traded. Maybe it was just the Sox fielding offers and trying to send a message to Ellsbury?
Globe: OF Ryan Kalish and LHP Dustin Richardson are on their way from Pawtucket to Boston, which would seem to indicate a series of roster moves and/or trades are in the works
My guess would be the Braves just seeing what it would take to get Ellsbury. I don't even know what Atlanta has that we would want that would net Ellsbury? No, Heyward is not an option.
Sox trying to move spare parts (Okajima, Ramirez, Hermida, MDC, Lowell) right now to make room for Bowden, Nava, Doubront, etc.
