    Sox get Bradford...Payton to A's for now...

    http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2107231

    The Boston Red Sox tried to bolster their struggling bullpen Wednesday, acquiring right-hander Chad Bradford from the Oakland Athletics in a trade for outfielder Jay Payton and cash considerations.
    Byrnes may be traded...but don't surprised if Payton is dealt again

    Well, better to get something than nothing.

    Bradford hasn't pitched all year so you might have got nothing for something.

    Payton was nothing. If he wasn't traded, he was going to be released. If Bradford doesn't play a single inning, it's just nothing for nothing.

    ^ keep dreaming buddy...Bradford will pitch for the Sox. He is coming off a rehab stint with A Advanced Stockton Ports of the Cal league and AAA Rivercats of the PCL.

    ....

    I'm assuming that was directed at Fish.

    Yeah, well, in that case, you'll be stuck with a pissed-off Payton. Your choice.

    The Yankees can give you the most cash.

    told you general...you're not getting Byrnes...at least not from the A's

    I just read that Payton was unhappy with his backup role in Boston. My question is, why did he sign with them to begin with then?

    I guess Prov was right. A's traded Byrnes.

    With Byrnes traded to Colorado, it looks like Payton is staying put in Oakland.
