Update:

12:17pm: The Cubs have been actively attempting to trade Byrd according to WEEI.com's Rob Bradford. A trade with the Red Sox is not final, but Bradford hears that it is "probable." Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (on Twitter) that Boston has looked at other outfield options as well.

Update:

1:34pm: Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine acknowledged to reporters that the club's talks with the Cubs are advanced, writes Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. “The talks have been good talks, from what I gather,” Valentine said. “Ben [Cherington] will try to get as good a player as he can get.”

2:19pm: The structure of Byrd's deal could help the Red Sox' payroll for luxury tax purposes, writes Alex Speier of WEEI.com. If the Cubs sent $5.5MM to Boston to offset the outfielder's salary, then it would actually decrease the Red Sox' payroll number that sum would be subtracted from Byrd's $5MM average annual salary.

The veteran is set to earn $6.5MM in the final year of a three-year, $15MM deal.

Send as much $ over as possible to maximize return.

Bowden projects as a middle of the rotation guy, right? Not complaining, just wondering what his ceiling is.

I'm not sure he projects to be a starter at all. Boston hasn't had him start a game since 2010.

Hmmm....

It's not a big deal obviously, Byrd doesn't figure into the Cubs plans at all, but I was getting greedy and wanting a starter.

Still gotta get this done I think.

1.) Why the hell would anyone actually want to trade for Byrd?
2.) Who knows the Boston farm system better than Theo?
3.) Get this motherfucker done, Theoyer.
