Re: Gammoms on Lugo.
The Cardinals might take Lugo, but they'd want Boston to absorb some of the salary.

A Greene-for-Felix Pie rumor floated briefly around the first of May but was shot down. Boston offered Coco Crisp to the Padres for Chase Headley to fill the vacuum caused by Edmonds' departure; Towers didn't make the deal.
There's activity in San Diego, the rumors include Greene, and Crisp + Lugo for Greene answers both teams' issues.

As an aside, though, with Cora and Lowrie Boston doesn't need to get a shortstop in return for Lugo. A deal with St Louis or some other team for a prospect--maybe with Tavarez as a throw-in, and with Boston picking up most of the salary--might be more likely than my preferred deal for Greene.
