Ken Rosenthal is reporting the Sox asked about Trevor Hoffman - he of the 6.82 ERA and fastball in the low-80s. Fortunately, it won't happen as the Red Sox are one of five teams on his no-trade list (strange considering he and Theo go back to their Padre days together). He has turned it around of late, but I can't imagine Hoffman, who is known for his exceptional changeup, would want to be a 7th inning guy for the Sox. It doesn't look like it will happen, in any case.
