Joel Hanrahan and Brock Holt from the Pirates for Mark Melancon, Stolmy Pimentel, Ivan De Jesus, and Jerry Sands.
Sources say that at least two players are going to Pittsburgh - outfielder/first baseman Jerry Sands and right-hander Stolmy Pimentel - but that the deal may be slightly expanded. (One report has the Red Sox sending four players and getting two back.)
Update: "Multiple industry sources indicated to ESPNBoston.com that the Sox could include pitcher Mark Melancon, in addition to Pimentel and Sands, in return for Hanrahan."

ReplyDeleteBill James takes an extremely rosy view of the 2013 lineup. For one thing, everyone will hit over .300!
ReplyDeleteDoes he give BA elsewhere? Edes gives OBP/SLG/OPS lines. Not that they look bad!
