Within the next week the Red Sox will come to Terms with Roy Oswalt for a 1 year, 8 Million dollar deal.
Roy Oswalt is exactly what we are looking for and would be a great pick up for them. Would I say that this puts them over the top and they win a World Series? Not right now, but he will be a great 4th, 5th guy. Last year he underwhelmed with a 9-10 record with a 3.69 era and only 139 innings. I really can't see an improvement from that to be honest, but Cherington needs to get the public back on his side.
Roy Oswalt will at least bridge the gap until Dice K comes back from elbow surgery, so even if he gets injured, it's fine, Ace K is on the way.
BMack thinks no way, no how, the Sox spend any more money, but I'm more optimistic about our ball club.
So Welcome to Boston Roy.
***UPDATE***
The Red Sox made Oswalt an offer, but are unsure of his interest level, since he has yet to accept, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com tweets.
***UPDATE 2***
The Red Sox have made an offer to free agent right-hander Edwin Jackson reports ESPN's Jim Bowden, and the two sides are currently in talks. A source told Bowden that they prefer Jackson to Roy Oswalt, to whom they also made an offer.

Man I hope you're right.
Who would you rather have on a 1-2 year deal. Oswalt or Jackson?
Jackson hands down, Oswalt will break down and do nothing, Jackson at least can pitch over 200 innings.
Yea I agree. If the Sox are willing to spend some cash and Jackson's price goes down I would love to see them jump on him
This would be a pleasant surprise.
