Red Sox Eyeing A Deep Team

With the signing of JD Drew right around the corner other deals could quickly follow.

Let's start with a Japanese left-handed reliever named Hideki Okajima, all I have on him right now is that the Red Sox are in serious discussions with him on a 2-year deal.

It appears San Diego has stepped up in its persuit of Manny Ramirez, and it is rumored any deal would include Jake Peavy, Boston is also interested in Adrian Gonzalez.

As of right now I would suggest this as Theo's idea of what he wants on opening day assuming all the deals do happen this is what he will have.
