Today’s trades show how lucky Sox fans are

Today, two extremely puzzling trades occurred. Check out the trades and my reaction to them.

Then, just be happy you're not a Royals or Mets fan.

7/10: Hold that line

Need I say more?

Sox interested in Atkins; should Sox go to 11 pitchers?

Rumors abound that the Red Sox and Colorado Rockies have discussed a deal around reliever Takashi Saito for third-baseman Garrett Atkins, making roughly $7 million this year.

The benefit to Atkins is that he would give the Sox a legitimate power bat off the bench, something the team lacks. Atkins would play first and third base off the bench, providing invaluable depth should Mike Lowell's return prove unsuccessful.

Which brings us to a more important question: are the Sox better served with an extra bench bat or an extra pitcher?

KAN 8, BOS 6: Four run sixth ruins Red Sox

Boston's bullpen could use a break.
