Red Sox Hub Trade Rumor Central July 15th 2005
Me And My Manny
Kevin Millar, the subject of trade rumors recently, reiterated his importance in the clubhouse because of his close relationship with Manny Ramirez. "He and I are as close as you can be as a teammate and friend," Millar said. "I spend more time with him on the road probably than a lot of guys, whether it be working out, whether it be eating lunch, [or] just hanging out. Do other guys take the time or effort to do that? No."

Welcome Back
Gabe Kapler, the utility outfielder adored by his former manager and ex-Red Sox teammates for his slingshot arm, versatility, and infectious disposition, will be in Fort Myers, Fla., today to begin working out in anticipation of his second tour of duty with the Red Sox, according to an industry source. Sox GM Theo Epstein wouldn't confirm that Kapler is on the verge of rejoining the organization, perhaps because Kapler still has to clear waivers in Japan.

Wag The Dog
The Red Sox are in the running for both A.J. Burnett and Billy Wagner. They will make a deal for "the best pitcher available," whether that guy is a starter of a reliever.
