Coco Crisp
A lot of interest in Coco.
Crisp a hot name
Crisp has been the talk of the GM meetings in Orlando, and according to the Globe's Nick Cafardo it is clear Crisp will be the focal point of most of Boston's talks this offseason. More from Cafardo on Crisp, who is the man without a starting role with the Sox after the emergence of center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury: Three GMs Monday indicated their interest in talking to the Sox about Crisp. The Twins, Rangers, White Sox, Phillies, Astros, Braves, and Padres all are known to have some level of interest, and there are likely more. While Epstein reiterated that he won't necessarily trade Crisp, several teams need center fielders, and some don't want to pay the high ransom for free agents Andruw Jones, Torii Hunter, Aaron Rowand, or even the suspended Mike Cameron. "We'd be crazy to deplete that depth just for the sake of making a deal," Theo Epstein said. "As is the case every offseason, we'll explore our options. Unless there's a significant return, I don't foresee a trade in that area. That said, there may be teams out there willing to give a significant return, given the quality of players we're talking about and the market."
