The Red Sox are reportedly talking to the Tigers to send SS Julio Lugo to Detroit for either pitchers Nate Robertson or Dontrelle Willis. Lugo who was out for nearly the final two months of the season was a big disapointment for the Red Sox during his first two years with the team. Lugo has 2 years left on his 4 year contract he signed before the 2007 season. If Lugo does not return in 2009 a highly likely candidate for the position is Red Sox rookie SS Jed Lowrie who was a part time SS until Lugo was injured and then moved into starting SS.
