Ladies and gentlemen, your big trade deadline acquisition: Triston Casas! He likely won’t be the only addition to the Red Sox this week, but it is probably true that Breslow won’t reel in a player as talented as Trizzton. Speaking on the radio yesterday, Breslow reported that Casas is finally taking batting practice as he recovers from his early season rib injury. A rehab stint may be right around the corner.

Well, would you look at that! Triston Casas definitely won’t be the only addition to the Red Sox this week, because the moment I finished typing that sentence some breaking news arrived via the tubes:
The Boston Red Sox are acquiring left-hander James Paxton in a trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers, sources tell ESPN.
