While the Red Sox haven't shown much willingness to deal Delcarmen, or any part of their bullpen for that matter, it has been made clear that if any relief pitcher is going to be traded, it is likely to be Saito, says Gordon Edes.

A scout has said that Delcarmen "has closer stuff," and due to his immense talent, the Red Sox have been saying no to teams looking to land Delcarmen, as well as Justin Masterson.

The scout went on to reveal that Saito would probably be the one to go, if anyone.

Earlier in June, Troy Renck connected the Rockies to Saito, noting that the Rox needed relief help that could dominate the NL West, also going on to say that the Red Sox had mild interest in outfielder Ryan Spilborghs.

Other than that, the market for Saito has been quiet—surprising, given Saito's respectable numbers, consisting of a 3.64 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 8.2 K/9, and 2.08 K/BB.
