His brother still seems to think he's been traded to Chicago, either that or he is enjoying pissing off Redsox nation:

 

Scott Youkilis

Can't blame him for liking Chicago better than Boston. He's probably been here and loves the city , food, restaurants.

Sean McAdam of CSNNE.com hears from a major league source that the Dodgers, White Sox, Indians, Braves, and a fifth team are in on Youkilis.  A second source says that the Pirates and Diamondbacks are no longer involved.  A source with knowledge of the talks indicated that Boston is focused on getting the best return available, whether its in the form of prospects or current major leaguers.

A Red Sox employee, no doubt.

More from Peter Abraham:

 

The Red Sox are still in the process of trying to trade Kevin Youkilis, several major league sources said. But after being held out of the lineup for three days, he is batting sixth and playing third base today.

 

"It's not directly related to anything other than than trying to win a ballgame and keep him as sharp as possible." Bobby Valentine said.

 

Will Middlebrooks is the DH as David Ortiz gets a day off.

 

The White Sox, Indians and Dodgers remain in the mix for Youkilis with another team — as yet unknown — also involved.

 

In the latest twist, the third baseman's brother has taken to Twitter to criticize Valentine and the city of Boston.

 

"Love that #teamyouk may be changing sox real soon. #Chicago is better town anyways!" wrote Scott Youkilis, a restaurant owner in San Francisco.

 

He also wrote, "Bobby V is a joke."

 

Valentine also owns a restaurant. Maybe the two warring parties can have a cook off. Aaron Cook can be the judge.

 

Appreciate the silliness. Good one.

 

And speaking of desperate, the BoSox seem to be, trotting this should-be-NL-only-pitcher-at this-point -in-his-career out today.

As much as they try they will have a tough time creating a better market for Youk. Even if he hits 4 homers foday its not going to make much of an impact. They really don't want to trade him to the proper color Sox but it really may be their best and maybe even only option. 2 weeks from now they are looking at a release.

lol where would they play him?

 

Yeah that makes absolutely no sense. We were one of the last teams to talk with the Red Sox. Whoever just got him is not yet confirmed.
