According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Red Sox and Marlins are discussing a deal that would send Carl Crawford and a prospect to Miami for Hanley Ramirez and Heath Bell.
"Well, that would be a doozy. The Red Sox insist that they are not shopping Crawford, but they don't deny that the Marlins and others have approached them. If it goes down, the deal would involve three contracts guaranteeing $239 million. Crawford, who recently returned from the disabled list and may eventually need Tommy John surgery on his elbow, is in the second year of an seven-year, $142 million deal. Ramirez, who was originally signed by Boston in 2000, is in the fourth year of a six-year, $70 million contract. Meanwhile, Bell has been a major disappointment in the first year of a three-year, $27 million deal. It's not clear if a deal is close, but Nightengale hears that Marlins vice president Dan Jennings is in Boston scouting Crawford."
