Marc Topkin of the St. Pete Times says Rocco Baldelli could be close to signing, saying "there were indications Wednesday that a deal could be completed very soon." It is not clear whether this is based on reading other reports or if he has inside information. Topkin does write that a return to the Rays "doesn't seem likely" noting that the Rays have very limited funds available after signing Pat Burrell.
Baldelli is a New England area fan favorite and is known for his outstanding speed and throwing ability.
If Baldelli sings with the Sox he will be a the final outfielders.
With the Pirates he will be a starter.
