Help on the way?

Sources close to the action are saying sources that the Braves are in heavy pursuit of now injured Red Sox LF Jacoby Ellsbury. The Sox are willing to deal him according to some due to a considerable amount of depth that is available in the organization right now. While it is unclear which of the Braves young prospects the deal will be centered around, any deal will most likely include one of either Vizciano, Lopez, or Delgado. The Braves have told many teams that top pitching prospect Julio Teheran is "untouchable". The Sox may be after a Braves bullpen arm as well. Which is intriguing because the Braves have recently shown interest in two Blue Jays arms Jason Frasor and Scott Downs. Those of you may remember Ellsbury being linked to the Braves when Andruw Jones was in the last year of his contract in Atlanta, as well as a trade for Lester that the Braves tried to put in place. Major moves could be announced within the next couple of hours or before the deadline.

  2. FanHouse beat writer, MLBTR has also touched on it although not specifically, just that the SOX are comfortable dealing Ellsbury because of their outfield depth.

  3. actually, MLBTR said the Sox are comfortable dealing AN OUTFIELDER because Ellsbury's coming back.

    Dream on, Braves fans.

  4. Actually, I'm a Sox fan. started hearing all this BS and wondered where it was coming from. Quick google search found this blog. No way the Sox are trading Ellsbury for prospects.
