More PRO Rumors for Wednesday:

• Red Sox GM Theo Epstein was on the Dennis and Callahan show of WEEI and talked about improving his 95 win club, his attempts to sign Jason Bay, Mike Lowell and playing backup, their closer, and getting a bat “is easier to do at the trade deadline than find(ing) an elite pitcher.”
• Dan Hays of The North County Times reports that the Padres have signed Eric Munson to a Minor League contract.
• When asked if J.D. Drew is worth every penny that the Red Sox have paid him, “absolutely”, Drew said. “In this game, you battle yourself to get in a position to explore the free agent market, and that’s what ended up happening. Are there a lot of expectations and a lot of added pressure that come with that? Yes. You want to live up to your value and to what you think your expectations are, and I have extremely high expectations for myself, day in and day out.” (Steve Buckley of The Boston Herald)
• ESPN Insider says that the Texas Rangers have the farm system depth to make an impact trade this Summer. The report suggests that Neftali Feliz, Martin Perez or Justin Smoak could be candidates for a trade if the Rangers are in contention after the All Star Break.
• Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle says that corner infielder/catcher Jake Fox has an excellent opportunity to make the A’s Opening Day roster unless he has an “abysmal spring”. Fox is currently out of options.
