Per wlw news Buster Olney reporting this is real, but Boston wants Bailey or Latos.
No
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Is this all stemming from that speculative piece of Olney's on possible landing spots for Ellsbury where he guesses the cost and not based on actual rumors? I don't have ESPN Insider so I can't read his speculation part.

Some small-market teams must desperately cling to their young pitching, which is what the Red Sox are looking for. Some teams, such as the Royals, have other priorities.
But here are some teams that could theoretically be a fit in an Ellsbury deal. (WARNING: SPECULATION AHEAD)
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
[Phil ] Castellini celebrated the team's farm system and noted the team had promising prospects who would one day be great Reds -- and then joke then they'd be ex-Reds, saying "of course we're going to lose them". #SellTheTeamBob

Whatever you do, do your best to not allow the struggles of life to interfere with the pleasures of living.
"Reality tells us there are no guarantees. Except that some day Jon Lester will be on that list of 100-game winners." - Peter Gammons
Sorry, I'm just not that desperate to replace Drew Stubbs in CF.

Bailey or Latos for Ellsbury is laughable.
I'm sure some in Boston would say Corcino for Ellsbury is laughable.
Personally, I wouldn't completely rule out Cingrani or Leake.
