With the winter meetings officially behind us, Major League Baseball’s rumor mill continues to heat up. A number of contenders are doing all they can to fortify

The Red Sox are in talks with a veteran MLB pitcher; the Yankees are planning a trade move for a Brewers' ace, who is linked to Boston.

Earlier this month, the Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates completed a notable five-player deal, sending top outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia and Jesus Travieso to Pittsburgh in exchange for pitchers Johan Oviedo and Tyler Samaniego and catcher Adonys Guzman.

The Boston Red Sox have been linked with several high-profile bats throughout the offseason. The AL East franchise were linked with All-Star sluggers Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso in free agency.

Despite several teams behind Kyle Tucker, the New Yankees and the New York Mets are not ready to give up anytime soon.

The Boston Red Sox's pitching development program has received a lot of recognition in the past year, and Ben Buck has assuredly played a role in that success.
