From many reports that have been surfacing recently, it appears that the Red Sox are in the thick of things when it comes to Josh Hamilton, Mr. Former MVP and Mr. Prime Free Agent of 2012/13. So far there have been two points indicating that he might could be headed to Beantown. First, the obvious one, there have been reports that Cherington has started regular contact with Hamilton's agent. Second, and a bit more telling, is GM Ben Cherington coming out and saying that the Red Sox will likely have one of the top payrolls in baseball. Considering that the Sox only have $45 million on the book so far for 2013, you have to think that they will make a huge splash somewhere. Pitcher Zach Greinke seems unlikely considering the recent troubles with big free-agent pitcher acquisitions. Whatever it is, I think that it is necessary that the Red Sox find a player that can help them contend again.
P.S. With the MVP voting coming out today, it is notable to say that no Sox player garnered a single MVP top-10 vote
