The Boston Red Sox have called the Los Angeles Dodgers about Hiroki Kuroda, an American League source tells Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.

Kuroda has been the subject of several trade rumors throughout the months of June and July. Only a few weeks ago the Dodgers had yet to engage in any serious trade talks regarding their pitcher.  He’s been previously scouted by the Cincinnati Reds and the Colorado Rockies.

Other destinations that Kuroda could end up at include the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers.
