Silverman: What trade target might Red Sox covet this year?
Christopher EvansYou all remember last year at spring training, when Phillies scout Charlie Kerfeld showed up on a back field at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.
Standing at 6-foot-6, Kerfeld is tough to miss any day of the week but this was early March, when the Phillies were looking to deal Cole Hamels and the Red Sox, while they were not ready to admit it, needed an ace. So if Kerfeld was in Fort Myers, that meant that a mega-deal, one involving a boatload of Red Sox blue-chip prospects, was in the works. And oh boy, stop the presses, fire up the Twitterverse, etc.
Hey, it was a slow day.
