GM's Meeting in Palm Springs

It's like the start of a game, first inning, feeling each other out. At the GM's meeting this week Ben Cherington says he will begin conversations & start feeling out other GM's about players available via trade & what the Sox would have to give up in return. In addition, there will be several free agents & their reps peddling their wares to see how much interest they can garner from several teams. The initial talks here will help finalize deals at the winter meetings in December. Since the class of 2013 is not stellar maybe Ben will pull the trigger quickly & get a Torii Hunter, Cody Ross or Mike Napoli into the fold quickly. Hard to tell how the pace will go. But money talks & the Sox have plenty of cash.
