Red Sox trade for Bedard
The Boston Red Sox saw the Rich Harden deal cancelled, so they went out and grabbed another injury-prone starting pitcher in Erik Bedard.
The Red Sox initially targeted Bedard for a trade but were scared away after his disastrous performance in his first outing since coming off of the disabled list.
However, the addition gives the Red Sox quite possibly the best tandem of left-handed starters with Bedard and Jon Lester.
Boston, despite the second-best record in all of baseball, has been seriously concerned about its starting pitching throughout the season.
Josh Beckett has been phenomenal and Lester has been good, but the final three spots in the rotation have been nothing short of a disaster.
