Will the red sox...?

Question

make any trades before the deadline? im thinking that they might go for a relief pitcher, have you heard any rumors about trades?

Answer 1

Barry Bonds.

Answer 2

yah trading jaun uriba for alex cora. but it won't do much.

Answer 3

I am sure they will do something. My guess is also relief pitching.

Answer 4

aside from help for the bullpen as you pointed out or maybe a shortstop to replace the god-awful julio lugo, i don't think they feel any need to trade for anyone

Answer 5

Let's see what happens in the next few days against the Yankees.  Theo is not a big fan of late July trades.  Look at Freddy Sanchez for Jeff Suppan and David Murphy and Kason Gabbard for Eric Gagne.  Even trades that worked out like for Orlando Cabrera ended up for nought when they let him walk at the end of the season.  Wouldn't life be better with O.C than Lugo?

Answer 6

Their only needs right now are relief pitching and shortstop.

I doubt that they find a way to trade Lugo since no one will want his contract.

Theo seems to have shied away from trading for relief pitching since he seems to be really confident in Masterson as a reliever.

I doubt they'll make any moves.
