G'bye Fields and Getz
When you turn on sports radio, you expect to hear breaking news. However, you don't expect to hear that two promising players were traded to the Kansas City Royals for a couple bats and a bucket of baseballs.
Oh, we got Mark Teahen too, but I'm more excited about the equipment.
The Sox dealt corner infielder Josh Fields and second baseman Chris Getz to Kansas City today for slugging utility man Mark Teahen. Teahen will most likely play second base seeing as we sent Getz away. Mark may also play right field if we decide to unload Jermaine Dye on someone (which seems to be the reason for this trade).
Could Brent Lillibridge slide into the second base slot? What about moving Ramirez to second, Beckham to short stop, and then bringing in -- or bringing up -- a third baseman?
We also inked first basmean and outfielder Mark Kotsay to a one-year deal today. I'm glad to see Mark will be coming back to the Sox. I remember listening to AM 670 The Score on the day we got Kotsay from Boston, and this person sent a text into the station that was read on the air, and the text said, "Kotsay is a slightly better version of Darrin Erstad."
I could only chuckle in agreement, but he's still a good player.
