According to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, the Red Sox are putting themselves in a position to make a run at free agent Adrian Beltre.
First the Red Sox will have to find a suitor for Mike Lowell, which won't be easy. The guy is 35 years old and is owed $12 million in 2010. On top of it all, he's an injury risk. Beltre, 30, hit .265/.304/.379 in 2009 while playing superb defense and would fit in well in Boston, but there are hurdles that must be jumped before any deal can come close to happening.
