Rotoworld:
The Boston Herald and Providence Journal are reporting that the A-Rod talks between the Red Sox and Rangers remain alive.
The Rangers still want to do the deal and Rodriguez and agent Scott Boras definitely want the thing to get done, so it looks like this story won't die for at least a couple of more days. It seems clear that there was some real progress made on Thursday, but it's uncertain just how close all the sides are. Also a mystery is how long the White Sox will wait before giving up on the Magglio Ordonez-for-Nomar Garciaparra deal. Source: Boston Herald [/b]
