Shortly after news broke Tuesday that the Blue Jays and Marlins were on the verge of a megadeal, a major league source confirmed the Red Sox had been discussing a smaller deal — albeit with some of the same players — with the Marlins.
The Sox, according to the source, were working on bringing All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes and righthander Josh Johnson, a player the team has long coveted, to Boston. It’s not known what the Sox were offering, but it certainly involved some of their top prospects.

Ben and the Red Sox are asleep at the wheel. They move like turtles and miss out much to often on making good moves. The saving grace would be if they were working on a deal for Giancarlo Staunton from Miami. He is young, a stud and would be the guy to build this team around. Any thoughts Nick?
"a deal for Giancarlo Staunton from Miami. He is young, a stud and would be the guy to build this team around" Exactly - and Miami intends to build around him. Why on earth would they want to trade him, and even if they did , the price would be huge ( You are probably talking about Middlebrooks and Lester)
It seems the Red Sox fans have gone to sleep waiting for the Sox's to do something good. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR? YOU SNOOZE YOU LOOZE!
