There are rumors flying around Twitter today that the Red Sox are making a push for White Sox starter Gavin Floyd. There is no word what the Red Sox would be giving up in the deal or how far along these talks are. My guess is that they aren't very far.
But for a second lets play the good old "what if" game. Gavin has 2 years $16.5MM left on his deal, which works out to be just $8.25/year. That isn't too bad at all. He turns just 29 years old at the end of January, so the he would only be 30 in the last year of his deal. He has stayed healthy over his career making at least 30 starts each of his last 4 years, has averaged 12.5 wins during that span and an ERA of 4.08. So basically he's exactly what you like in a 4th starter, and he did that in a hitter ballpark in Chicago, so you wouldn't expect too much of a change.
It makes a lot of sense to get this deal done if the White Sox asking price is right. Yet, I doubt it will happen, because the Red Sox have shown no interest in spending money.
