The Red Sox are in need of starting pitching and they have been working both the free agent and trade markets this offseason.

Kyle Lohse, considered by some as one of the top options on the free agent market, has drawn interest from Boston.

"Lohse had a great year and yes, the Red Sox have called about him. At 34, he may be a bit out of their age range. He's probably looking for at least three years and that may be risky," Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe writes in a mailbag piece.
