There are some intriguing options left in free agency, including Edwin Jackson, Hiroki Kuroda and Roy Oswalt, with Oswalt and Kuroda both possibilities for one-year deals. But all would appear to be too expensive.

The Sox have been linked to trade talks for Cubs right-hander Matt Garza, who has a year left of arbitration after being paid $5.95 million last season. The price tag is appealing, but Epstein will demand top prospects in return.

More likely, the Sox will look at Daniel Bard as their big upgrade to the rotation and add a name from the annual list of question marks available, a list this season that includes such names as Bartolo Colon, Jon Garland, Micah Owings and Rich Harden. The Sox almost traded for Harden last July before rejecting a deal because of his medicals. They also had interest in former Indians starter Aaron Laffey, who signed last weekend with Toronto.
