Red Sox Considering Blockbuster?

Sports-related posts have been few and far-between on Republican Punk (much more so than intended), but this is a big one. The Boston Red Sox (and Tampa Bay Rays) are both considering massive trades that would lead to them acquiring both C/1B Victor Martinez AND reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Cliff Lee. The Rays currently have the best offer because of their willingness to part with Wade Davis, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, but the Red Sox have more they could potentially offer, with the major hold-up being the Sox' hesitation to deal Clay Buchholz, their top young pitcher. We'll be keeping an eye on this one!
