The Boston Red Sox have expressed interest in acquiring right-handed starter
Justin Masterson and outfielder Shin-Soo Choo from the Cleveland Indians,
major-league sources said.

消息指出紅襪對舊將Masterson和秋信守有興趣

It’s not clear how advanced the talks are, but the fit is obvious: The Red
Sox have the ability to take on payroll after unloading roughly $250 million
in contracts three months ago, and the Indians are willing to listen to
offers for virtually every player on their roster.

目前仍不清楚進一步的談判內容，但是紅襪有能力吃下他們了。

印地安人願意聽其他球隊對於任何一位球員的報價。

Boston’s farm system has strengthened over the past 12 months, partially
because of prospects obtained from the Dodgers in the August blockbuster.
Thus, the Red Sox can afford to move the necessary minor leaguers to bring
back Masterson, Choo, or both.

過去一年來紅襪農場大補(包含道奇交易案)，絕對有能力把Masterson或/和秋信守挖來

An intriguing dynamic could develop if the Masterson talks intensify: He
broke into the majors with the Red Sox in 2008, when Terry Francona was the
Boston manager and John Farrell the Boston pitching coach. Last month,
Francona was hired to manage the Indians while Farrell became the new skipper
in Boston. Both are said to admire Masterson. If Farrell pushes for the Red
Sox to acquire him, Francona might try just as hard to keep him in Cleveland.
Choo, meanwhile, would add immediate punch to a Boston outfield that
presently includes center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury and a collection of platoon
players. The Red Sox would be more enthused about Choo if he had more than
one year left before free agency, but their newfound payroll flexibility
could make it more feasible to keep him after 2013.

Masterson在2008年上大聯盟時總教練是嚼嚼，Farrell是投教。

據說兩邊都喜歡Masterson─嚼嚼那邊可能也會想留他。

秋信守則會衝擊Jacoby Ellsbury和platoon球員們。

如果秋信守明年不會變FA的話更好，不過紅襪騰出的錢至少增加了續約的彈性。

Choo, like Ellsbury, is represented by the influential agent Scott Boras.
Ellsbury also is headed for free agency after the coming season.

秋信守跟Ellsbury都是Bora$的客戶，明年都會變FA。
