Supposedly the Red Sox are gonna trade Mike Lowell and Julian Tavarez for him. There might be a prospect involved in that as well, not sure though.

I'd be sad to see Lowell go, but at the same time we can make Youkilis a full time 3B, and I know he'd do a good job there, and Helton is a gold glove 1B so there wouldn't be any slack in the fielding. Tavarez is basically useless to the team anyway. My only other worry is that since Helton's numbers have been slipping a little bit in the last 2 seasons, he'd struggle in the AL East. Going from the NL West to the AL East won't be an easy transition for him, not to mention the atmospheric change between Denver and Boston.
