    Cubs Marlon Byrd Traded To Boston

    Byrd & 6.1M out of his 6.5 for Bowden & a PTBNL

    I'm hoping that PTBNL is going to be something pretty good with all that money sent to Boston. Probably a player taken in last years draft.

    No, no, no. Byrd was the PTBNL in the Theo compensation

    I do like this trade for both teams. Red Sox need help and the Cubs get some salary relief plus some pitching depth.

    Won't help a lick...unless Byrd suddenly became a relief pitcher that can get people out.

    I wanted the Braves to trade for him too. Besides the fact that they seem to be ninjas in trades.

    Glad they didn't, but hey, Byrd has improved his OBP since the deal. Lofty .267 clip as a member of the Red Sox
