Ken Rosenthal says that Eric Gagne is going to be traded to the Sox. That’s a tad of a eyebrow raiser – the Sox have a great closer. Gagne has to waive his no trade to go there. Would they put Papelbon as a setup guy? I can’t see Gagne waiving unless he’s the full time closer.
Then there’s that talk about Gagne re-signing here again in the offseason. I wonder if that will happen.
UPDATE @ 2:10PM: TR Sullivan has something up about it now here. Also read where the rumoured players coming back total three. They are 17 year-old five-tool outfielder Engel Beltre (Buster Olney report), as well as Kason Gabbard (Ken Rosenthal), as well as possibly David Murphy (also Rosenthal).
