MLB Trade Speculation: 10 Guys the Yankees and Red Sox Will Be Fighting Over

The MLB season is only two weeks old, and experts are already talking about potential trading or free agency scenarios that certain teams will pursue. Sure enough, the two teams at the heart of each debate are the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox.
It seems that season after season, these two teams make moves designed to best each other. As a result, they are extremely well matched and fight for top position in the standings every year. Even during spring training, rumors swirled about both teams making a play for St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Chris Carpenter (pictured at left).
With next year’s free agency class fairly weak, chances are that teams will look to acquire big names through trading, or the “rent a player” system, rather than spend big money during the offseason. That being said, here are trades (or in some cases free agency situations) involving 10 players who both the Yankees and Red Sox will pursue. As always, it will be a fight to the finish to see who ultimately lands them.
