The Boston Red Sox are discussing a trade with the Miami Marlins that could send John Lackey to Florida, according to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi.
Several reports earlier Wednesday mentioned the possibility of Lackey being moved in advance of the trade deadline, and the Marlins are known to be seeking a starter they can control.
From what I'm hearing, would be stunned if #Marlins don't make at least one trade by #MLBTradeDeadline Priority clearly on starter

Lackey has a league-minimum club option for 2015, and would prove a more cost-conscious decision for the Fish than a rental of Lackey's fellow Boston pitcher, Jon Lester.
