HBT: Red Sox unlikely to trade Beckett

There have been a fair amount of rumblings and rumors regarding Josh Beckett. But ? and this is no surprise ? it?s likely not happening.

?

Beckett has 10/5 rights, so he would have to approve anything and, though he has said he would ?consider? any trade possibilities brought to him, he also says he?d prefer to stay in Boston. Then you figure that (a) he?s sort of at a baseball value nadir at the moment; and (b) he?s owed $15.75 million each of the next two years, it?s hard to see why anyone would want to deal for him.
