Coco Crisp was able to get his suspension cut from 7 games to 5 yesterday for his role in the brawl between the Boston Red Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays this month. He will begin serving the suspension on Saturday, and will be eligible to play July 3 for the Yankee series in New [...]

The Chicago Cubs have had a moderate interest in Coco Crisp as a centerfielder since the off-season, but they weren’t willing to give up enough in order to get him. Some rumors had mentioned Matt Murton, who was traded from Boston as part of the Nomar Garciaparra trade of 2004. Not really in our best [...]

Tampa has become a pretty solid team, but I still think it’s clear who the best team in the AL East is. The Red Sox completed another three-game sweep of the Rays at Fenway, running their winning streak at home to 13 games and retaking the lead in the division.

Justin Masterson is set to open the home stand against the first place Tampa Bay Rays tonight. First baseman Jeff Bailey was sent down to make room on the roster. Don’t expect Masterson to keep up quite the level of performance he has been so far; he is sporting an impossibly low BABIP of .134. [...]

Julian Tavarez has joined the Milwaukee Brewers. For now, he will pitch out of their bullpen, though he will likely provide rotational insurance against injury.
Coco Crisp continues to deal with his part-time situation, to his credit. A trade won’t occur until a team steps up and is willing to pay a steeper price for Crisp.

With his stay on the 15-day DL completed, Brandon Moss was activated and sent to Pawtucket. Like Jed Lowrie, he will stay on call at AAA in case of any injuries at the Major League level.

And now the explanation for Clay Buchholz’s last start: he is dealing with a broken fingernail on the middle finger of his pitching hand. I can see how that might make throwing a curveball kinda difficult. The Red Sox don’t want him having any more unnecessary bad starts (plus they need to limit his innings, [...]

The Denver Post reports that the Colorado Rockies are shopping for a back-end starter. They are looking at Josh Fogg and Julian Tavarez, both former Rockies, to hold down a spot in the rotation temporarily. Top prospect Franklin Morales has been sent to Triple-A to work on his polish.
