Red Sox going after Carl Crawford
By Mark J. Miller
Longtime baseball reporter and commentator Peter Gammons told WEEI sports radio Thursday that the Boston Red Sox would be going after free agent Carl Crawford(notes) hard in the offseason. "That will be a matchup with the [Los Angeles] Angels, and you know there are some puffs of smoke coming out of New York that suggest the Yankees might go after him, even though their primary need is pitching," Gammons told the station.
Gammons doesn't expect catcher Victor Martinez(notes) to return to the Red Sox, figuring the Detroit Tigers will give him a four- or five-year contract.
He also sounded pretty convinced that Texas Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee(notes) will re-sign with the Rangers.
