With the Yankees win over the Minnesota Twins yesterday, they will go to the ALCS to play the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Once the Angels swept the Redsox, an interesting question came up: Will this be the last game Jon Papelbon pitches in a Redsox uniform? I hope so!
Here are teams that would be good fits for Papelbon:
TAMPA BAY RAYS: Would be a great fit, but would NEVER ever happen.
DETROIT TIGERS: May be the best fit if the Redsox are willing to send him to an AL team.
PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES: Great fit if the Phillies are willing to do it. They would have to get rid of Lidge first.
CHICAGO CUBS: Maybe the Cubs would be a good fit, but they have both Kevin Gregg and Carlos Marmol.
HOUSTON ASTROS: Need a closer with Jose Valverde becoming a free agent.
PREDICTION: The Redsox keep Papelbon and let Billy Wagner go as a free agent.
UPDATE 9:08 PM EST: The reason the Redsox would get rid of Papelbon is because they feel that Daniel Bard is a capable MLB closer.
UPDATE 9:10 PM EST: Check out this prediction in the Miami Herald....bottom of the article...CRAZY!

I agree. I think the Sox do not let a young, talented and often dominant closer go. I just dont see it happening.
