The Boston Red Sox have shown interest in trading Clay Buchholz, according to sources.

The non-waiver trade deadline is a little more than a month away and Boston is 9 1/2 games out of first place in the American League East.

Buchholz has pitched well as of late, which has increased his value. His contract also allows for team options in 2016 ($13 million) and 2017 ($13.5 million).

As far as the right-hander is concerned, he will remain with the Red Sox.

"Yeah, unless something crazy happens I expect to be here," he said. "I've always called this place home. [Trades] happen, and it's happened to a lot of guys, where they walk in and they're told their somewhere. That's the business part of it and I think everybody understands that.

"I would love to be here throughout the next couple of years and everything goes well sign another extension. That's sort of how I look at it."
