Washington with their 2-16 bullpen are trying to move Nick Johnson and Austin Kearns and some of their semi-attractive veteran players to get relief pitchers. I know they offered Nick Johnson to Boston for Manny Delcarmen. That hasn’t happened and may not until the Red Sox make a decision on David Ortiz.
This is a deal the Red Sox would instantly do if Big Papi was at his current level of production on July 31.
It’s May 22, however.
It still begs the question: should the Red Sox do the trade? If so, when?
