Sox trade Crisp to Royals for reliever Ramon Ramirez
Boston Sports Buzz - Red Sox Patriots Celtics Bruins MLB NFL NBA NHL Baseball Football Basketball... — There's been speculation all morning, but Dick Kaegel of MLB.com reports it's a done deal: the Sox have acquired 27-year old reliever Ramon Ramirez from the Kansas City Royals for Coco Crisp. It's an interesting - and seemingly equal - deal for both clubs. The Royals could use Coco's defense in center in spite of the fact that they seem to be stockpiling outfielders at this point, and the Sox have some issues in the back end of the bullpen - Timlin's likely done, Delcarmen was wildly inconsistent last year, and they may toy with the idea of shifting Masterson back to being a starter - that will help be resolved by Ramirez's acquisition. Ramirez pitched 71.2 innings last year and ...

The Victoria Times — Mike Tice thinks he should coach in the NFL again. Let's al have a chuckle. The Royals went out and made a trade today. This is a really cool story about why we should lie.

KC Royals have a lot of outfielders
The 'Ropolitans | NY Mets Baseball Blog — The Kansas City Royals traded for Coco Crisp from the Boston Red Sox. Another man in the Royals outfield? It was crowded before, but now someone will almost have to be traded. The Royals have seven outfielders on their active roster now. Shane Costa, David DeJesus, Joey Gathright, Jose Guillen, Mitch Maier, Mark Teahen and now Crisp. Before the trade deadline, Guillen was rumored to want out of KC, and the Mets showed interest. He's a bit of a hot head, but he would have helped, and still could. Guillen hit .264, hit 20 home runs and drove in 97 runs in 153 games in 2008 with the Royals. A career .273 hitter with a .323 OBP. He's a natural left fielder and shouldn't cost too ...

River Avenue Blues — So how about that crazy first week of free agency, huh? Blockbuster trade after blockbuster trade and megahuge free agent deals were handed out like free samples of The Jacoby Ellsbury Eyebrow Wax Kit at Penney’s. … Okay, that was lame. The hot stove is chock full o’ rumors but a little light on the action right now. Hell, the biggest trade action of the week came from the Knickerbockers, who completed Phase I of Operation Get LeBron by chopping like, $30M bucks off their future payroll. Not exactly what we all had in mind, but that’s just the way it goes. Just to wrap up the action in Yankeeland, here’s a review of ...

Baseball Prospectus — ... a lot of games with defense in 2007, the year we ended up winning the World Series. He's a guy who can do a lot of different things well on the baseball field: plays good defense, runs the bases well. He gives you a switch-hit bat that has a little bit of sneaky pop, so he's definitely a good player." —Red Sox GM Theo Epstein , on Crisp.
