Buster Olney:
The Red Sox, looking for a left-handed hitting corner infielder who can back up first baseman Kevin Youkilis and third baseman Mike Lowell, have expressed serious interest in free agent Mike Lamb. In 124 games last season, Lamb hit .289, with 11 homers and 40 RBIs, and an on-base percentage of .366. Lamb, 32, is drawing interest from other teams, and may have to make a choice between having a chance to play regularly for another team, or be a part-time player with Boston.
