Sox reject Dodgers offer

Will Carroll is reporting that the Dodgers' offer of Jonathan Broxton and Andy LaRoche was rejected by the Sox today. The Sox had been seeking a package of 3 of the Dodgers' top prospects. Looking at the numbers, any package would have to include Broxton. He's 22 and shows a ton of promise.
LaRoche is a young third base prospect that the team has been interested in for a while.
The Sox are also said to be seeking outfielder Matt Kemp, first baseman James Loney, and infielder Willy Aybar.
Kemp is 21 and a nice prospect who projects to be a big masher. He played 52 games in the majors last year and hit 7 homers with a .448 SLG.
Loney also projects to have some pop in the bat. He hit .284 / .342 / .559 in 48 games last season in his first big league time.
Aybar is a plus defender in the infield who doesn't have a great deal of pop in the bat yet but is already getting on base at a stellar rate: .313 / .373 / .391.
