The Red Sox are "putting on a full-court press" to acquire Roy Halladay, according to a source, and are hoping to add the former Cy Young winner to the top of their rotation to go with Josh Beckett and Jon Lester. "They would love to get it wrapped up before the winter meetings (beginning Dec. 7)," the source said.

It naturally means the Yankees will get involved, if only to drive up the price. But frankly, I'd rather keep all the prospects and sign John Lackey, then sign Roy Halladay next off-season.
