Red Sox and Diamondbacks talking trade: Tony Massarotti of the Boston Globe provides an update on the trade talks between the Boston Red Sox and Arizona Diamondbacks involving catcher Miguel Montero.
Sox and Diamondbacks have yet to settle on compensation for Montero, a 25-year-old lefthanded-hitting catcher who would be a nice match with Josh Bard, a switch hitter who is better from the right side. According to one major league source, the Diamondbacks are seeking only a comparable prospect in return — be it a pitcher or a positional player — but the sides have yet to identify a comparable talent that would make the deal work for both sides.
