ESPN.com-

The Red Sox did a great job if disguising their intentions on free-agent pitcher John Lackey.

 

Up to this point they had been focused on Jason Bay, made a tentative deal with the Rangers to send Mike Lowell to Texas and were also looking at Adrian Beltre as a possible replacement for Lowell at third base.

 

In the midst of all of this, Lackey snuck into town unnoticed and appears close to a deal with the Red Sox.

 

So what would signing Lackey mean, besides giving Boston a formidable 1-2-3 punch along with Josh Beckett and Jon Lester at the top of the rotation?

 

For starters, it means they could explore a possible deal for Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez (perhaps dangling Clay Buchholz as part of a deal?).

Cowley is probably making light of Kenny's absolute failure of an offseason so far. Every other contender is doing big things while Kenny is loading up on complimentary players. The Sox are out of money already and there's still no RF or DH, but don't worry because Jenks, Linebrink, and Konerko are all still here sucking up salary.

This was supposed to be green, right?

Why would this be sarcastic? It appears we've blown our payroll room on bench players and reclamation projects. Kenny has been more under the influence than under the radar at this point. I really hope this changes because this is the most disappointing offseason I've ever experienced, given what the expectations should be knowing our starting rotation.
