The Boston Red Sox have placed Daisuke Matsuzaka on trade waivers, tweets ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney, and the right-hander is coming off his best start since returning from Tommy John surgery.
A club such as the Los Angeles Dodgers or Washington Nationals could show strong interest, as could the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles or Detroit Tigers.
The Dodgers, Rangers, Orioles and Tigers simply need more starting pitching while the Nationals could use Matsuzaka to help fill the void soon left by Stephen Strasburg once he's shut down for the year.
Dice-K is a free agent at season's end and owed a fraction of the $10 million he's earning this season. He also has a full no-trade clause that may be a factor with some interested clubs.
One dark horse suitor could be the Reds, so keep an eye out for them.
