Kevin Youkilis could be traded before the day is out.

Red Sox officials met last night and one of the topics was how the roster would change once Kevin Youkilis is traded. Then today Fox Sports reported that Youkilis “is going somewhere soon.”

The White Sox, Dodgers and several other teams are interested in Youkilis. The Red Sox would prefer to see Youkilis in the National League, but at this point the greater priority seems to be getting him off the roster and moving forward.

More on this as it becomes available.
