According to Jim Reeves of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, the Texas Rangers are willing to trade Jarrod Saltalamacchia straight up for Boston Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz.
The Rangers, according to a team source, would deal Saltalamacchia head up for right-hander Clay Buchholz.
And as Alex Speier of WEEI.com notes, this isn’t exactly breaking news for us Red Sox fans.
I find it hard to believe the Red Sox would ever make this deal even if Jason Varitek doesn’t sign with the club. Something in my gut tells me that they may have more interest in Taylor Teagarden. I’ve said before that I do like what Salty could bring to the club as a switch-hitter but his defense leaves little to be desired right now.
