What's the latest about Max Ramirez?

Read an article below from bbtia.com:

As reported by multiple sources already, the Texas Rangers have officially traded right-hander Kevin Millwood (and $3 million) to the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for right-handed reliever Chris Ray, and are (a) reportedly closing in on signing free agent right-hander Rich Harden to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with a second-year club option, as well as (b) reportedly working on a trade that would send catcher Max Ramirez to the Red Sox for corner infielder Mike Lowell.

Full breakdown is forthcoming in a little while, but this obviously is a huge, huge sequence of events with major implications for the 2010 season. Harden is an enormous talent, one who leans entirely on his excellent fastball and change-up and has established himself as one of baseball's most potent strikeout pitchers -- the single biggest thing that this pitching staff needed going forward. Of course, the injury risk is not immaterial, and there's a real chance that this gambit on the part of Jon Daniels won't work out as planned, but this ballclub was -- and still is -- in a position where it needs to pair its enormous cache of young talent with some calculated risks. This is a great first step.
