Red Sox: Rays pitchers were not available trade targets

The decision to pull the trigger on a deal that brought Drew Pomeranz to the Boston Red Sox was met with some initial skepticism, but it appears to have been a wise move when you consider the team’s desperate need for another starting pitcher in a limited market.

Sure, there are options out there, while others could potentially pop up before the end of the month. But who was available that would have been a better option than the All-Star lefty?

Julio Teheran? The Atlanta Braves don’t appear to be eager to part with their ace and it would take a king’s ransom to get them to even listen.
