John Lackey -----> Red Sox?


Ken Rosenthal is reporting that John Lackey is going to be taking a physical today in Boston... While Peter Gammons is saying that Mike Lowell may be requiring surgery on his thumb. It doesn't say if it will change the deal to Texas, but if it does.. One less suitor for Beltre?

Contract is expected by Rosenthal to be similar than AJ Burnett money - I must say, I am pretty stoked about Lackey leaving the division, even if it is a lateral move in terms of amount of hate.
