The Red Sox are not discussing a trade for Carlos Quentin with the White Sox, according to Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. The clubs reportedly talked on Tuesday, but discussions went nowhere. Chicago has also discussed Quentin with Toronto but has not come close to consummating a deal. The White Sox are seeking alternate suitors for the 29-year-old outfielder. Quentin is entering his final year of arbitration and will get a significant raise from his $5.05 salary in 2011 after he batted .254/.340/.499 with 24 homers and 77 RBI. The Red Sox, Nationals and Padres have previously been mentioned as possibly having interest.
