One hour to go . . .

With the 4 p.m. trade deadline looming, some quick hits on Red Sox trade rumors . . .

-- In the last 90 minutes, a Kip Wells-to-Boston rumor took fire in virtually every corner of the Internet. However, a baseball source says the deal is ''not close''.

-- A high-ranked baseball insider said the Sox were negotiating a contract extension with the agents for Julio Lugo, indicating a deal with the Devil Rays might be close. But the St. Petersburg Times' Marc Topkin, in his blog, says He is not going to Boston, at least not as part of rumored three- and four-way deals that were flying around Fenway Park and the Internet Sunday night.

More momentarily . . .
