Youkilis seems more likely to get traded and he did hint during the offseason or Spring Training that if really did occur, the Reds would have priority if he gets to make a list of teams. A Beckett deal would involve the Red Sox potentially "eating" almost the entire $17 million owed to him this season.
He's from the area and grew up watching Reds games with his goal to play for them before retiring.
