Boston Kipper

Gordon Edes at the Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox are talking to the Pirates about Kip Wells (via Rotoworld). The ESPN trade chat has just suggested that the Padres are going to trade for Aaron Boone to play third base. He has been much worse than Randa this year, given Randa's hot streak since returning from injury.

UPDATE (3:04): Buster Olney just showed up on my TV and told me that Kip heading to Boston is almost a done deal. Steve Phillips thinks this is a bad deal for the Red Sox, which means Theo is probably pressing the "Go" button on this one as we speak.
