Red Sox Acquire Paul Byrd
By Tim Dierkes [August 12 at 2:47pm CST]According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox acquired starter Paul Byrd today for a player to be named later or cash. Byrd, 37, has a 4.53 ERA in 131 innings this year. He relies on pinpoint control and has strung together five solid starts.
Byrd had cleared waivers on account of his $7.5MM salary. He's still owed over $2MM; no word on whether the Red Sox will pay all of it.

[IFRAME tag removed]Tigers To Sign Freddy Garcia
By Tim Dierkes [August 12 at 1:47pm CST]According to Jon Heyman of SI.com, Freddy Garcia agreed to a minor league contract with the Tigers. The Tigers hope to have him in the Majors by month's end for a playoff drive.
The Tigers are eight games out in the AL Central and 9.5 out of the wild card, so their playoff chances hover around 2-4%. But there's not much downside to adding Garcia just in case.

What's Joe Torre been up to? I haven't paid much attention to the Dodgers this season, mostly because they're never brought up when I'm just walking by the TV on Sports Center...

Greedo:
Off-season plan. Pick up Texiera for sick money. Suck it up for a year with an extra all-star infielder, let Lowell go. Youk back at Third - Texiera at first. Red Sox win the world series in 2009.

"Hearing that the Red Sox will send Craig Hansen and Brandon Moss to Pittsburgh, which will also receive Dodgers third baseman Andy LaRoche and Double-A pitcher Bryan Morris in the deal. The Red Sox would receive Jason Bay From Pittsburgh and the Dodgers get Ramirez."
This is fucking bullshit, we're getting hosed! We're getting Jason Bay for one of the greatest hitters ever and a really good pitching prospect? WTF!!!!
- JG_LB0
Irrelevant but for my childhood's sake...can we get The Delivery Man™ back?!!?!?!
Otherwise, Manny in LA with Torre.

nothing yet on Manny

Manny is going to Los Angeles Dodgers. Jason Bay is going to Boston. Both teams are helping out the Pirates with prospects.
