MikeO said:yeah but they could have taken on 1 bad contract and maybe gave up a nothing prospect to get a Hudsen, Liber, or Gordon. They got the money to make a move like that. Theo dropped the ball.
I mean the Yanks made 2 nothing moves. Gave up nobody and got Abreu, Wilson and Lidel and they are paying huge divdends. Boston didn't even try to make such a move.
I disagree what player who was traded would have put them over the top? Probably Abreu but the Sox didn't want that contract.
But Kip Wells? Matt Stairs?
I'm sure the Sox tried making moves, but in the end they thought it wasn't worth risking the future for guys who might not even help the team win anyway. I said it at the deadline I wasn't upset that they didn't make a move.
A quick fix was not what the Red Sox need. They needed someone to put them over the top and there was no one available that would do that.
