Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com confirms that John Lackey is taking a physical with the Red Sox.
Rosenthal takes it one step further, saying that the deal is likely to be similar to A.J. Burnett's five-year, $82.5 million deal signed last year. Assuming the deal is consummated, Lackey figures to be Boston's No. 3 starter. The right-hander went 11-8 with a 3.83 ERA in 27 starts. Let the Adrian Gonzalez rumors begin again.
