Coveroo TRIVIA: No-hitter in Yankee Stadium
What Red Sox pitcher took a no-hitter into the ninth inning of a game in Yankee Stadium before it was broken up? (Bonus half point for the year.)

Sometimes the best trades are the one’s that weren’t the most apparent to the public prior to them going down. Like the deals that brought Josh Beckett and Curt Schilling to Boston previously or the deadline deals that sent Nomar Garciaparra and Manny Ramirez out of town for positive gain, the current Red Sox front office’s ability to think creatively around trade options has done them well.
The fact that Theo and team made a compelling offer at the deadline for Felix Hernandez only cement the point that the “obvious” trade, at that time Halladay, isn’t always the only, or the best, option.
The hard think about writing about “those kind of deals” is that until they are whispered, it is complete conjecture. Without inside information on the other team involved, it would be hard for anyone in our shoes to lend credence to any particular move.
That said, one whisper that caught me thinking this weekend comes from Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald.
