Assuming this trade goes through in the next couple of days, the Red Sox will have three players under contract whose last names are also the names of MA towns: Tim Wakefield, Mike Lowell, and Josh Beckett.

I’ve updated the Top 20 Prospects list to reflect the changes from the Beckett deal. The top of the list looks a little more barren, but…

We have Josh Beckett.
