Crisp may ask Red Sox to trade him


Coco Crisp may ask the Boston Red Sox to trade him if he's going to be on the bench next season. Though the Red Sox say there will be a competition between Crisp and young outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, Crisp thinks he sees the writing on the wall.


“I would honestly rather be somewhere else and play than be on the bench,” he said. “But I’ll take whatever comes and deal with it and no knock against Boston. I love the fans. They treated me well.”


There could be a few teams that are still looking for outfield help that could be interested in Crisp, but according to manager Terry Francona, “We want Coco on our team,” Francona said. “We have two good center fielders.”
