Youkilis trade talk: Indians "are very much involved in talks with the Red Sox"

37

The idea of adding a 33 year old making $12 MM with a .225/.311/.359 line doesn't excite me too much. That being said, the article notes that at least six teams are interested in Youkilis (including CLE), and that: "The Sox will have to assume most of the remaining $12 million on Youkilis’s contract and the $1 million buyout of his option, and then there is the question of what they can get for him." I haven't seen anything as far as what the Red Sox would want specifically from the Indians in return. Has anyone else seen any names swirling around out there in the interwebs? What kind of package do you think it would take to acquire him (if we were even interested in pursuing such a deal)?
