Red Sox get P Paul Byrd in trade with Indians
Associated Press
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have acquired pitcher Paul Byrd in a trade with Cleveland.
The Red Sox will send either a player to be named or cash to the Indians.
The 37-year-old Byrd is 7-10 with a 4.53 ERA this season. But the right-hander has won all four of his starts since the All-Star break.
Boston leads the AL wild-card race. The Red Sox are minus starter Tim Wakefield — the knuckleballer is out with a stiff right shoulder.
