    BOSTON -- The Red Sox helped bolster their ailing starting rotation on Tuesday by dealing for Indians right-hander Paul Byrd.

    Byrd, a 13-year veteran who spent the last three seasons in Cleveland, comes to Boston for a player to be named later or cash.

    Good. I've always liked Byrd.
    He's been hot as of late too.

    Love the old school delivery too.
    We needed another arm...Colon has been rehabbing since the Reagan era and Wake's on the DL.

    he's a good pick up for the Sox. Seems to me the Sox are hell bent on not letting the Rays win the AL East. No matter what the cost.

    Yep - I learned something about waiver wire acquisitions this morning from Mike & Mike on ESPN Radio - since the Rays are above the Sox in the standings, the Sox can block all players on waivers they think could help the Rays....:angry2:

    Get used to it, the Rays have done it to the Sox in the past when they weren't even in it and I'm sure the Yankees will block the Sox.
