Red Sox willing to deal Ellsbury or Lester, not both

[The Game]

Does this make them the front runner now? With the Minnesota Twins insisting on center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury in any trade for pitcher Johan Santana, the Red Sox have altered their offer and have told the Twins they are willing to include the outfielder.




Ellsbury

Lester
