If the Sox are truly dealing Lackey, everyone should be talking to them given how little he’ll make in 2015. But right now it’s the Marlins:

Lackey had a couple of bumpy years in Boston, but he has posted a 3.55 ERA over 50 starts since the beginning of last season for the Sox, turning into one of the more reliable mid-rotation starters in all of baseball.

Yesterday the New York Yankees got Aaron Judge back. Today they activated closer Aroldis Chapman.

Chapman has been on the disabled list since August 22 with left knee tendinitis. Before going down the 30-year-old fireballer registered a 2.11 ERA and 31 saves with an 84/27 K/BB ratio in 47 innings of work.

In his absence David Robertson, Dellin Betances and Zach Britton have all been bumped an inning back to decidedly mixed results. Now Chapman is back in the mix.
