Rays Claim Dewon Day, Padres Take Virgil Vasquez

Day was signed as a free agent by Boston, so the claim was from the Red Sox, although he was previously with Chicago.

The Red Sox still have 41 guys signed to major league contracts:

Beckett, Josh
Matsuzaka, Daisuke
Papelbon, Jonathan
Penny, Brad
Smoltz, John
Wakefield, Tim
Okajima, Hideki
Lopez, Javier
Delcarmen, Manny
Lester, Jon
Ramírez, Ramón
Aardsma, David
Littleton, Wes
Gonzalez, Miguel
Masterson, Justin
Pauley, David
Drew, J.D.
Ortiz, David
Lowell, Mike
Lugo, Julio
Bay, Jason
Youkilis, Kevin
Pedroia, Dustin
Baldelli, Rocco
Bard, Josh
Kotsay, Mark
Ellsbury, Jacoby
Kottaras, George
Lowrie, Jed
Buchholz, Clay
Bowden, Michael
Tazawa, Junichi
Argenis Diaz
Felix Doubront
Hunter Jones
Mark Wagner
Carter, Chris
Bailey, Jeff
Brown, Dusty
Van Every, Jonathan
Hansack, Devern

One other player has to be designated for assignment. My guess is that it'll be Van Every.

Jungle Loooove. oh wee oh wee oh.

"One other player has to be designated for assignment. My guess is that it'll be Van Every."

VanEvery has use as an emergency fillin at the ML level as an emergency OF and infielder and has some pop, why the Sox keep Hansack on the 40 man roster is beyond me.. 1st they dropped Zink and now Day they just had claimed themselves and still keep Hansack? He's shown nothing last 2 seasons and is 31 years old, never going to do anything and at least the Van Every types have use as fill ins like last season, while Pauley/Hansack types get called up for 1 week and either sit in the BP the entire time, or get used in mop up games which is all that they have shown they are suited for.

"its highlarious. henry ur racist"

And you are an ignorant troll.

Just did a quickie check from your list midtown and it looks correct with regards to what is listed on the Sox homepage.

Hope the Sox don't do something crazy and release Aardsma or Littleton this time, or at least before looking at them in ST. Would really like to see Aardsma back on the staff in '09, fully healthy again and under the tutelage of John Farrell for a little while longer before they give up on him, that splitter of his, combined with that upper 90's FB just has the potential of 8th inning guy written all over it at some point.

Agreed Aardsma, has a hell of an arm, but need to throw strikes. Manny has same problem. If I was going to get rid of a great arm that is who I would move. 0-2, next thing 3-2, ten pitches a batter. DelCarmen is very inconsistent. Salty for him good to go.

Agreed on Pauley, he pitched that 1 gem in his 1st ML game vs the Yanks and that was it, he is a goner for sure and Hansack is a AAAA guy also at best.

As much as MDC is intriquing when he is on, he is equally maddening when he is suffering from "Calvin Sciraldi syndrome" and freaking out with baserunners on and throwing grape fruits over the plate under stress that get hammered. I would like to see him get moved now that they have a good BP in a catcher deal if possible and if his value is better than it maybe is with his high 90's FB and devastating curve when it is on.
