Super agent Scott Boras shoots down JBJ trade talk

Despite reports to the contrary, former South Carolina baseball star Jackie Bradley Jr. is not on the Boston Red Sox trading block.

Scott Boras, Bradley's agent, said the Red Sox have told him they don't intend to trade the center fielder, according to masslive.com

Boras, who represents some of the biggest names in baseball, told the website: "We've been in communication with the Red Sox about that, and there have been media reports about that, but that's never been anything they've expressed as an intention. They've told us they're very happy with Jackie and they very much want to continue their relationship with him and have him be their center fielder."

Bostgon GM Dave Dombrowski said: "I don't know where those rumors started, but they're not accurate. I can say we have interest in our players and people have asked about our players often. But I would say we're very happy with our outfield. Could we do anything? I can't say we can't do anything with any of our players. But we like our outfield."
