BOSTON -- Cory Gearrin arrived in the visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park on Monday not long after his new teammates and despite the whirlwind of a day he had just experienced, he was all smiles as he introduced himself to all with a firm handshake.
A team official pulled him aside to get his number preference and clothing sizes, he chatted with pitching coach Doug Brocail and received his new Ranger-blue cleats, then he finally took a moment to reflect on what it was like being part of a trade for the first time in his career.
