Why? If that is going to happen you want it to happen before a trade is made
Boston is stupid to allow him to play today anything can happen. If a deal with any team is that close why risk it?

They are going to have to play to him to hope he gets hot to increase the return.
Boston better pray Youk's back does not mysteriously flair up today.
Kevin Youkilis is in the Red Sox' lineup Sunday, playing third base and batting sixth.
Youkilis is expected to be traded soon, but his presence in the lineup makes the possibility of a deal going down Sunday unlikely. Will Middlebrooks is also playing, as he's slotted into the DH spot. David Ortiz is getting a day off.

That's a team option isnt it?

They want him traded period. They dont have many choices right now.
One thing regardless this is gonna happen by Monday IMO.

A well known Pirates beat writer said they are out of it. All thats really left is us and the Dodgers.
I still think Pirates will get him, Boston wants him traded to the NL.
Sox seem to right everyone.................Axford last 3 times out horrid. Another pathectic show for the home fans offensively. Wasted start after wasted start.

You should be more upset about the 2-strike double than the ground ball that would have been fielded with the defense at regular depth.
I am more pissed Sox are about to lose 1-0 again!

Buster Olney just tweeted that apparently baseball execs think we are the favorites for Youk.
Whoever gets Youk it will be very soon.
