The Red Sox went out and got themselves a Cy Young winner. That's right, back in 2007 with the Padres, the newly acquired Red Sox pitcher, Jake Peavy won the Cy Young award. The Red Sox have been widespread labeled as winners of the trade deadline and I have to agree. Not only did they boost their rotation with the Peavy addition, but they also managed to not give up Rubby de la Rosa or Xander Boaegarts. I will miss Jose Iglesias, sure, but everyone has been acting like he was Ozzie Smith and he wasn't. He's a good glove, but we needed Peavy and we got him. I like the trade.
Good move, lets hope it helps us into the post season!
