The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham suggests that the Red Sox could have interest in trading for Mike Carp.
Carp is expendable following the Mariners' addition of Michael Morse, and the Red Sox are looking to improve their bench with a lefthanded hitter who can play first base and corner outfield. Coming off an injury-shortened season in 2012, Carp batted just .213/.312/.341 in 59 games with Seattle, but remains an intriguing power prospect. The Red Sox have also expressed interest in signing free agents Casey Kotchman, Lyle Overbay, and Nick Johnson.
