Duchscherer, Red Sox update 12.09.09 at 2:44 pm ET
By Rob Bradford

INDIANAPOLIS — Following up on the fact the Red Sox and Justin Duchscherer’s reps talked Sunday night, just wanted to pass along that the two sides haven’t talked since the initial get-together. Like so many other elements of this winter meetings, any momentum, one way or another, regarding the pitcher wouldn’t be pushed along until the top tier free agents start making decisions.

What is somewhat interesting, however, is the fact that the Red Sox were the first team to show interest in the starter and the first to request Duchscherer’s medical information. The pitcher is not only allowing teams to pour over his medicals, but also is making his therapist available after the 32-year-old’s bout clinical depression last season. Duchscherer had battled hip and elbow injuries following making the American League All-Star team in 2008.

There are approximately 11 teams showing interest in Duchscherer, on various levels. He is currently working out in Arizona and figures to be ready for the start of spring training.

    Amazing…the sox are talking to Dushscherer and the YANKS go out and get Granderson for a bag of chips. With the possibility of losing Bay relatively high, I would have thought Granderson to be a better alternative than Holliday.

    The Tigers asking price for Granderson was extraordinary and Austin Jackson is definitely not a bag of chips.

    Plus you think a .249 hitting CF is a better alternative than Holliday?

    Anguillaman, Heidi laughs at you.

    Ok im a yankees fan Ian Kennedy was unproven they tried to trade him the last 2 years…Austin jackson is a Triple A player for the Yanks he probally was never going to play for them anyway…and Phil Coke just a fluke year for him, So really It was a AJAX for Granderson swap…just my opion! I think the DBacks got th worst of this trade.

    Red Sox are going CHEAP this year. If they don’t pick up Cabera at 1st base, they are NUTS. Hope Henry and Theo do something for there season ticket holders. They need a couple BIG bats, we all know that…

    Rob, you wrote “The pitcher is not only allowing teams to pour over his medicals”

    The correct word is ‘pore’ – as in ‘read or study with great attentiveness’ – not ‘pour’ (as in syrup over pancakes)!

    Sorry, as a former editor, I couldn’t help myself!
