According to ESPN's Peter Gammons, there are a lot of teams interested in potentially trading for Red Sox reliever Manny Delcarmen:
...several Arizona teams have expressed interest in Boston reliever Manny Delcarmen. Boston needs a catcher, and could use another infielder and even another outfielder.
I'm a big fan of Delcarmen, so I'm against this to begin with. Sure, the Sox would like to have another catcher, but do they really need a catcher right now? George Kottaras is holding down the fort as a backup and we obviously are going to be set with Jason Varitek for awhile. Nick Green, a backup infielder, is absolutely smashing the ball and is a good utility player (outfielder as well). Another outfielder? Perhaps, but we're not going to get one good enough that could push out Rocco Baldelli or Mark Kotsay when he's back.
