The Red Sox are talking to the Blue Jays about a deal for Eric Hinske, who will make about $1.4 million over the rest of this year and is owed $5.6 million next year.
There are a lot of teams that could use Hinske with the way he's hit this year, but the Red Sox would seem to be somewhere near the bottom of the list and he'd only be a decent acquisition if the Jays took on a portion of what he's due next year. If the Red Sox are truly serious about trading for him, it could be a sign that they're especially concerned about Trot Nixon's biceps injury.
