The Red Sox are said to be focusing their attention on John Lackey instead of Roy Halladay.
Boston doesn't like the idea of giving up Clay Buchholz and Casey Kelly in a deal for Halladay, and signing Lackey could give them the flexibility to make a trade for a hitter.
The Boston Globe reports that unless the Blue Jays lower their asking price, the Red Sox will court Lackey and possibly deal Buchholz for a guy like Miguel Cabrera or Adrian Gonzalez.

The Blue Jays are expected to lose free agents Marco Scutaro and Rod Barajas, but they'll get draft picks as compensation.
New Toronto general manager Alex Anthopoulos could have just re-signed Scutaro and Barajas, but instead he's set up the Jays to get as many draft picks as possible as he works to find replacements.
The teams signed Alex Gonzalez to play shortstop and now they are looking for catchers.
Toronto will definitely offer arbitration to both players in order to ensure they'll get picks in return.
