The Boston Red Sox have been looking for lefthanded relief help.
Red Sox Acquire Craig Breslow From Diamondbacks
31-year-old Craig Breslow has been having a pretty good year for the Arizona Diamondbacks, posting a 2.70 ERA and 1.177 WHIP in 40 appearances.
His next appearance will be for the Red Sox:
#Dbacks source confirms Breslow to Boston. Angels also were looking at Breslow, need lefty.— Jack Magruder (@JackMagruder) July 31, 2012
In return, the D’backs get a righthanded reliever, and one other player:
#Dbacks get Albers and Podsednik.— Jack Magruder (@JackMagruder) July 31, 2012
It’s uncertain why the D’backs want or need Scott Podsednik, unless they have another trade in the hopper. Albers’ numbers are nearly the same as Breslow’s: 2.29 ERA, 1.144 WHIP in 40 appearances. Looks like the Red Sox just wanted to change handedness in their bullpen.
