Their wild card lead evaporating, the Red Sox are on the hunt for
reinforcements, even if only for a game, in an attempt to make the playoffs.
According to a source with knowledge of the talks, the Red Sox have spent the
better part of a week trying to pry left-handed starter and West Springfield
native Chris Capuano from the New York Mets for cash in order to start on
Sunday at Yankee Stadium.
However, it appears the Mets will keep Capuano, who is 11-12 with a 4.47 ERA.
Capuano is playing on a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
Capuano would not be eligible for the postseason with the Red Sox, but he’d
be able to help them over the final week of the regular season as they
struggle to get quality starts out of a rotation that’s as big a culprit as
any for the team’s 5-16 slide in September.
Capuano, a Cathedral grad, was an All-Star with the Brewers in 2006 before
undergoing a pair of Tommy John surgeries on his elbow, which sidelined him
for the entire 2008 and 2009 seasons. He has returned this year to strike out
155 in 175.1 inning and would have given the team a boost in the series
finale at New York, particularly since the Yankees hitters are unfamiliar
with him and would have little opportunity to advance scout him.
問題是在這個時間點
聯盟還允許這樣換球員嗎???
即使Capuano無法進入季後賽名單
在這種非贏不可的比賽
應該沒有紅襪迷會希望在週末看到Lackey或Wakefield先發
