Phils, Sox Discussing Lou Marson

Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe reports the Phillies and Red Sox are discussing trade options concerning catcher Lou Marson.

According to Cafardo, the Phils want either Clay Buchholz or Daniel Bard, but the Sox “aren’t going there.”

Buchholz, 24, went 2-9 with a 6.75 ERA last season for the Sox. Bard went 4-1 with a 1.99 ERA for AA Portland.

Thanks to reader David for the hat tip.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
