According to Rob Bradford of WEEI.com, the Red Sox "have not engaged in a single conversation" with the Phillies regarding a trade of infielder Michael Young. George A. King III of the New York Post reported on Saturday afternoon that both the Red Sox and Yankees are plotting a possible Young deal. And now come the denials. Young, 36, is batting .289/.348/.412 with five homers and 21 RBI in 74 games this season for Philadelphia. Boston and New York could use immediate infield help, but there's only smoke and no fire at the moment.
