Sox Struggles Prompts Trade

With RF Johnny Gomes landing on the Disabled List, the Red Sox decided to add another bat to their roster. Acquired from the Texas Rangers was 1B Mitch Moreland. Sent down to Texas were a pair of minor leaguers: Drake Britton and Pedro Beato.

“With Gomes on the DL, Mike Carp will see more time in the Outfield creating a need for a better option at 1B for when Napoli needs a break.” Kier told the press, “I got on the phone with Jon (Daniels, Texas GM) and found out that Moreland was available. The deal was a no-brainer for us.”

Moreland will join the team at home for Saturday’s game in Boston against the Devil Rays.
